thePROJECT is an interim process of small, viral, organic events during 2009 & 2010, building to the possibility of a larger festival of arts, culture & faith (inspired by, but not exactly imitating Greenbelt and other similar events) in 2011.
Any such any future large festival event has no clear or predetermined shape or consensus about its form, length, breadth, geography or season. Whatever we end up, will arise from this series of small gatherings (each very different in form and content) during 2009 & 2010, and was inspired initially by the spirit of Greenbelt, but also would learn from other Scottish & European models such as Street Level, Carberry Festival, Kirchentag, Edinburgh Festival, The Mod and Celtic Connections. We’re magpies at heart!
The ‘interfaces of engagement’ will be primarily those mapped out by the likes of the above events and others:
arts – faith – theology – ecology – politics –philosophy – spirituality – justice
…or basically celebration, inspiration, irreverence, profundity, laughter, tears, questions, argument, friendship, shivers up the spine – add your own noun to the list.
Who might like it?
thePROJECT is for those interested in a deliberate exploration of the arts, culture and faith. We hope to make it a comfortable place for insiders, outsiders and maybe especially those at the margins of the church.
thePROJECT will be primarily be adult (young and not so young), but importantly, there will be an inclusive provision for children and families, to the extent resources allow.
