Loren Mck

This year some of my writing will be published (for the first time), I am developing a new solo work Remembering without Cement and I am continuing my PhD at Centre for Dance Research (Coventry University). Alongside this I am taking on projects as a freelance artist and access support worker/studio assistant and I am developing my facilitation practice. 

In this Seminar Frances Yeung, Lildonia Lawrence and Loren McK shared aspects of their research tussling with histories and futures of archiving. Discussion moved around areas including acts of resistance to 

dominant narratives, creative practices, connection to personal and ancestral memories / histories, inclusivity / accessibility, and novel / creative approaches to archiving. 

Loren, dealing with archives in relation to Disabilty Justice, shared ideas around access, accessing and accessibility. 

In Other Words, now in it’s third series, is a collection of urgent reflections by a community of 6 commissioned artists. Through an artists congress we have discussed and developed works for publication, a deeper understanding of our practice(s), and have seed money for research and development of new work.
