Framework For Trust

During 2020 and 2021, we have been working with artists to think about how we make artworks and build artistic programmes. Through these collaborations, we developed a series of conversations, interventions and resources called Framework for…. These focus on the topics urgent to FACT’s current and future research, and to those who we are working with.

Framework for Trust is a series of events and collection of resources that explore the ways in which our artists-in-residence think about trust, and the relationship it has to the work they are doing. All of the artists involved have developed different works whilst in residence at FACT. Framework for Trust offers an examination of the processes of making art within a residency and explores the way in which artistic practises overlap and collide in relation to trust in both digital space and artworks.

The title for these sessions is taken from an artwork, PESTS, by FACT Together artist, Shonagh Short.

Framework for... is made possible by funding from and is part of, a wider research project funded by the European Union, called Artsformation.
