Centre for Cultural Policy Studies Co-hosts RSA Workshop: Back to the Future? The Growing Importance of the Artisan to the Regional Economy
Masters students, Diana Trantina (Russia) and Dana Muntean (Moldova) from the Centre's MA in Creative and Media Enterprises were appointed as Royal Society of the Arts Fellows in November 2013 to conduct an extensive study into artisanship in the twenty-first century and investigate how innovation and entrepreneurship can be cultivated, particularly within post-industrial regions such as the West Midlands.
Dana and Diana will present their interim findings from the Artisan 21 Catalyst Project together with , a Fullbright Scholar from the University of Illinois, currently based at the University of Birmingham, who will present his current research on how and why heritage places, specifically post-industrial ones such as the Jewellery Quarter, Sheffield's Little Mester Yards, and Ironbridge, are suitable spaces for innovation and entrepreneurship.
The workshop will take place 6.00 - 8.00pm on Tuesday 3rd June 2014 with refreshments and networking afterwards in G50, Millburn House. Please email Ruth Leary if you would like to attend or require further details; r.leary@warwick.ac.uk.
