Arts and Culture University of Exeter Creative Fellowships 2020-21 Exploratory Placements Over 4-5 Weeks, Working in Interdisciplinary Contexts Arts and Culture University of Exeter Creative Fellowships 2020-21 Exploratory placements over 4-5 weeks, working in interdisciplinary contexts Introduction Arts and Culture Creative Fellowships offer creative practitioners the opportunity to engage with innovative research across the University of Exeter’s colleges and campuses. They are open to practitioners of any artform, including visual, digital, sound and performing arts, craft, design, film, literature and music. Rather than being a residency, these opportunities are described as placements. The creative practitioner is a peer, opening up new approaches and conversations with the University hosts while developing and enriching their own creative practice. This scheme encourages mutually-beneficial exchange, where both the host and the creative practitioner gain new insights and potential ways of working. The role of an Arts and Culture Creative Fellow The Creative Fellowships address the three aims of the Arts and Culture strategy: to develop purposeful encounters; enrich our cultural environment; and unlock resources and potential. The emphasis is on process, so documentation and evaluation will be intrinsic to project delivery, and we will be making short two-minute films summarising each Creative Fellowship. We anticipate that the Creative Fellow will work closely with Arts and Culture to disseminate their work with a broad audience, across the University and the region. The Creative Fellow will be introduced to key contacts working on a specific area of research. They will be supported to work alongside these research communities, producing creative outputs that investigate and interrogate the processes and practices of research undertaken at Exeter, using creative skills and supporting the aims of the University. On a practical level, this may involve attending informal department meetings, working with students and audiences, building 1-1 relationships with particular researchers and exploring novel perspectives on the activities that support the University’s work. It is important that a Creative Fellowship builds towards a tangible outcome that communicates the value of the project. Last year’s Creative Fellows were Lea Anderson, Alex Julyan and Domenico Vicinanza: https://www.artsandcultureexeter.co.uk/creative-fellowship/embodied-viewing https://www.artsandcultureexeter.co.uk/creative-fellowship/public-involvement-in-public- health-knowledge-mobilisation https://www.artsandcultureexeter.co.uk/creative-fellowship/human-movement- translating-data-into-art The University and its Campuses The University of Exeter’s campuses in Devon and Cornwall host around 22,000 students. There are two campuses in Exeter (Streatham and St Luke’s), one in Penryn, and one in Truro. The Streatham campus also holds the Northcott Theatre and the Bill Douglas Cinema Museum. Further information on the campuses can be found at http://www.exeter.ac.uk/undergraduate/life/ourcampuses/ Creative Fellowship Aims • Connect individuals and disciplinary perspectives within the University through creative engagement and outputs. • Advocate for artistic processes and creative methodologies within the context of a research intensive university. • Work with specified research institutes, looking at interdisciplinary process. • Document processes and ways of working using creative practice. • Develop a tangible outcome that communicates the process of the Creative Fellowship. Outputs and Timetable – working in the context of Covid-19 The timing and detail of outputs are to be developed in discussion with hosts. No two Creative Fellowships are the same and we are committed to an open and process-driven approach. The Creative Fellowship runs over a period of 4-5 weeks to be agreed with the University of Exeter, split between in-situ research and production time. The Arts and Culture team also aims to work with the Creative Fellows to offer dissemination events and activities to showcase the process and resulting works. Our usual preference is for the research and production time to be delivered Oct-Feb, with 1-3 events delivered Mar-Jun. In light of Covid-19, we cannot predict when in-situ and remote working will be needed, but are anticipating a blended approach. We will be flexible with the timings of the delivery – the only caveat is that the project is completed within the 2020-21 academic year. The fee covers the period from September 2020 to early July 2021. Budget The total budget per Creative Fellowship is £5,000 (inclusive of VAT). This must include the practitioner’s fee, equipment, travel and accommodation, production costs and own documentation. The Arts and Culture team will support additional expenses including film- making and photography, event planning and delivery, promotion, and dissemination. Required Skills and Experience • Experience of arts placements or residencies with non-arts professionals. • Ability to plan and deliver projects to deadlines. • Strong interest in use of creative processes and application of artistic insights and behaviours in diverse contexts. • Collaborative and enquiring outlook. • Willingness and ability to spend time on the University of Exeter campuses (dependent on Covid-19 restrictions). Application Process Three Creative Fellowships are being offered in the 2020-21 academic year –we are advertising for TWO of the placements in this brief, and the third will follow in the next couple of weeks. Details of all three Creative Fellowships have been included so that artists can make informed choices about which strand to apply to. Following a call out across the University in spring 2020, three institutes/cross-departmental groups were selected to each host a Creative Fellow. Practitioners from any creative discipline are invited to apply and will be selected following interview. The interview panel is Professor Stephen Hodge, Academic Director for Arts and Culture, Sarah Campbell, Associate Director for Arts and Culture, and the Lead Contact for the host institute/cross-departmental group. Apply by sending a one page written response (with up to six supporting images, or link to one video file if appropriate), plus a CV to [email protected] by Friday 19 June 2020. Please specify which of the TWO Creative Fellowships you are applying for, and what you would contribute to a mutually-beneficial exchange of knowledge and practice. The two Creative Fellowships in this callout are Antimicrobial Resistance Network and The Politics of Sexual Nature. Please see the relevant appendices below for details on each of the three hosts. Interview dates Antimicrobial Resistance Network Mon 6 July Zoom link to be sent to candidates, remote interview. The Politics of Sexual Nature Thurs 9 July Zoom link to be sent to candidates, remote interview. Please note - £100 will be provided to cover the creative practitioner’s time to prepare and attend interview.

My research looks at ways to engage different publics on the issue, with a focus on reducing antibiotic pollution in the environment. I am currently leading the co-ordination of a University-wide AMR network, which aims to bring together researchers from all disciplines to create an active cross-disciplinary network that will increase the University’s impact and access to AMR funding opportunities. I would like to introduce a creative practitioner to our network. It is my hope that, by working alongside our members, both they and the Creative Fellow would be introduced to new ways of working and, ultimately, find novel or more creative perspectives on the issue. Summary of Fellowship opportunity The Creative Fellow would work directly with network members at the St Luke’s and Streatham sites in Exeter, in Penryn and in Truro, but would also indirectly influence the rest of the network through writing about their experience for our website and newsletter. I would also invite them to talk about their experience and fellowship plans/outcomes at our network meetings. It is hoped that this experience, and the wider engagement with the Arts and Humanities, will facilitate new collaborative ideas for research and/or engagement in the AMR field. These fresh perspectives on the issue will be invaluable in helping the University and our network to widen the reach of our impact.

    News from the Universities The University of Exeter Initiatives in local, regional and community history The University of Exeter now operates on two separate campuses, Streatham Campus in Exeter and, since 2005, Tremough Campus near Falmouth, Cornwall. History at Exeter has expanded considerably in the last decade, partly as a result of the opening of the Tremough campus. There are now 27 full-time staff based at Streatham and another 10 in Tremough, with research interests extending from early Medieval Britain to post- Communist Eastern Europe. In the last five years there has also been a considerable intensification of activity in local and regional history, as History has sought to forge links with local community groups, institutions and other charitable and business organisations. In many respects staff at Tremough have taken the lead in developing these connections. A strong civic dimension has been developed within the History cluster at Tremough, with significant engagement with the Cornish community at a variety of levels. This was based initially on the long-standing work of the Institute of Cornish Studies, part of the University of Exeter but part-funded by Cornwall Council, and located in Cornwall well before the establishment of the Cornwall Campus. Since the early 1990s, the Institute has focused on issues of identity in modern Cornwall, which it has explored through a variety of methods—for example, biography, demography and oral history—and which has led among other things to the establishment of strong links with the overseas Cornish diaspora and to the publication of the annual volume Cornish Studies (University of Exeter Press).

The move upwards was a reflection of the changes made to the University over the previous two years. Those changes were designed to focus resources on our strongest performing areas of academic activity.
