The c. £50,000 will be used to bring together three community organisations and three academics for whom hospitality is imagined as a politically or ethically transformative practice. Focusing on issues surrounding asylum-seeking and inter-cultural relationships the project starts from the premise that acts of sharing and hosting can establish platforms for mutual encounter and productive co-creation. However, we highlight that in practice hospitality practices are constantly fraught by unequal power relations, differential access to resources, and clashes between cultural interpretations. Interventions will involve a series of arts-based workshops and an away weekend including researchers, managers, volunteers, service-users and members of the three community groups. The workshops will take place around hospitality practices such as the giving and receiving of food, but will also employ forms of reflective storytelling devised with the support of artists to produce knowledge about the practical difficulties of trying to enact hospitality across cultural boundaries.  |
