Co-Imagining Data Intermediation in Scottish Creative Industries (CoDiCi) is a new research project funded by the Royal Society of Edinburgh as part of their Research Collaborative Grants. The project is led by me in collaboration with my colleagues Dr Paul Oliver (Edinburgh Napier University) and Dr Morshed Mannan (University of Edinburgh).
As part of this project, we are running a series of workshops with creatives and artists across Scotland with the aim of exploring how they currently manage data as part of their work and what we can do together to make data management fairer, more inclusive and more sustainable in the Scottish creative industries. During the workshops, we are using participatory research methods to discuss challenges and opportunities associated with data management in creative industries, and to co-imagine alternative ways to manage the data in the interest of creatives and artists.
The first workshop is scheduled on July 16 in Edinburgh. If you are interested, you can register here.
More workshops will be scheduled in the Summer and Autumn in Dundee, Glasgow, Perth, and Sterling.
Detailed information on our project can also be found in this Participant Information Sheet. If you have any questions about our project, just drop us an email!
