Francesca La Morgia, originally from Italy, has been involved in a range of community projects primarily with migrant families in Ireland and in the UK for a number of years. In 2017, she created Mother Tongues, a non-profit organisation that aims to support migrant families in raising children with two or more languages. Francesca is the curator of the Mother Tongues Festival, the only festival in Ireland that focuses on multilingualism. This conversation, with Create’s Cultural Diversity Researcher Evgeny Shtorn, encompasses Francesca’s experience as a migrant, an academic, an artist, and her motivation for establishing the Mother Tongues Festival

At the Create Networking Day (9th December 2020), close to two hundred delegates came together in a facilitated interactive session, entitled “Connect” which offered a chance to meet, talk, share, and strategise together. We collectively built a resource pack for the sector; talks, books, projects that have inspired, kept us going and which encourage our work as collaborative artists and cultural and/or community practitioners.

This resource, made up of everyone’s recommendations and co-produced by Create and Heart of Glass, is reflective of a sense of collective wisdom, provocation and support by our field of practice at this time.

Each resource can be accessed by clicking the heading for each item.

Jeanne Van Heeswijk is an artist who facilitates the creation of dynamic and diversified public spaces in order to “radicalise the local”. She works on long term community embedded projects that question art’s autonomy by combining performative action, discussions and other forms of organising and pedagogy in order to assist communities to take control of their own futures.

This is an edited transcript of a presentation given by Jeanne Van Heeswijk in Common Ground’s Studio 468 in February 2020.
