One Hundred Islands

An Interactive Installation | ESRC Festival of Social Science
Tuesday, 6 November 2018

One Hundred Islands is an installation that has been created through a collaboration between The Bare Project Theatre Company and the CUSP. The installation responds to the concept of denial: in particular the denial of the immediate need for change. Why are we failing to act? Is it that we won’t listen or that we are unable to?

One Hundred Islands will combine interviews with academics and thinkers from multiple disciplines who are trying to understand this phenomena, with artistic segments that wrestle with the same questions. We hope this piece will provide a space for audiences to explore the need for change and what’s stopping us.

This installation is a work-in-progress: due to the interactive nature of the piece, it is important to have audience input throughout the process as we continue to collect interviews and insights. Therefore, as part of this installation, we would really value your thoughts and ideas!

The purpose of this paper is to prepare the ground for a strand of work in CUSP which aims to look at the role of culture in everyday life, and in doing so to understand how it might operate as an element of sustainable prosperity. The paper considers the basis on which we might start to think about new legitimations for cultural policy and a fuller understanding of its potential for living well with less.

The latest documentary from D O’Neill and M Wayne highlights the barriers faced by working class actors attempting to pursue cultural work. The film exposes the fraudulence behind some of the central tenets of neoliberal meritocracy, Anthony Killick finds, particularly the idea that arts and cultural jobs are equally accessible to all on a “level playing field”.

This paper analyses the potential for cultural work to encourage alternative visions of the “good life”, in particular, how it might encourage a kind of “sustainable prosperity” wherein human flourishing is not linked to high levels of material consumption but rather the capabilities to engage with cultural and creative practices and communities.
