John Bissett is a community worker who lives and works in Dublin. John has been involved with a broad range of social movements working to effect positive change and to challenge the imposition of policies and actions which dominate and inflict suffering across the social body. He has been involved with grassroots youth and community work in the city of Dublin since the late 1980s. This has led to participation and leadership in many groups and social movements over the past four decades in Ireland, Australia and with groups across Europe. John is currently a member of Housing Action Now and Red Wheelbarrow Productions.

John is currently preparing a book for publication about the lives and struggles of public housing tenants, titled ‘It’s not where you live. It’s how you live’ to be out before the end of 2022. In this piece, John writes about the long history of arts and activism, focusing in particular on his working base of Rialto, Inchicore and Bluebell, in Dublin’s south inner city.

Networks of Solidarity is a series of four monthly online talks co-organised by artist/organiser Kate O’Shea and writer/researcher Enya Moore from the Just City Collective. The Networks of Solidarity series aims to strengthen transnational networks of solidarity and deepen awareness of place-based struggles that reverberate from Dublin 8 to Gadigal Country (Sydney, Australia). This event series is supported in part by a Dublin City Council Revenue award granted to Create.

Between Our Minds, the first Networks of Solidarity event, sets the foundations for the whole series by exploring sustainable practices of collective care in building communities. Recognising burnout within the community organising and resisting contemporary individualistic and commodified versions of self-care, this discussion brings together the experiences and wisdom of four guests who practice care in different ways. How can food, healing and creative practice become mediums in which to embody care?

Read the report

In July 2020, Create and Counterpoints Arts, a UK-based arts agency dedicated to Art, Migration and Social Change, held a Learning Lab on Collaborative Arts, Diversity and Social Justice, which brought together artists, activists, policymakers and racial justice/ human rights advocates and activists, to think about how we might put the principles around ‘equality, diversity and human rights’ into practice in Ireland. The Learning Lab coincided with the European Union marking the 20th anniversary of the Race and Equality Directive (June 29th) and was framed in the context of the Irish Arts Council’s Equality Human Rights and Diversity Policy
and Strategy (2019).

This report document comprises an edited transcript of the conversations held that day.

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.
