(March 2021-October 2022)Mapping ecologies of care in creative hubs during covid-19
This University of Stirling project funded by Royal Society of Edinburgh (RSE) ran from March 2021 to October 2022 and explored the ways in which Creative Stirling and the Kitchen at 44 King Street transformed their activities, mobilised their networks and redeployed their assets during the pandemic and associated lockdowns. The Creative Stirling experience demonstrates the powerful role of creative and cultural activity in addressing community need at a time of crisis. It shows that if you centre care and trust people on the ground, solutions to complex problems can be found.
