AGMs can be a bit boring, so this year we wanted to make it more fun and reflected some of our thinking and learning from the past year. We invited everyone to join us for a meal, inspired by artist in residence Kawther Luay's project The Gathering Table. The Gathering Table is a 12-month long project exploring hospitality and how we host artists and audiences as an arts organisation.
For the AGM, now known as the Annual General Meal (AGM), Kawther and the Deveron Projects team designed a three-course meal, which formed the agenda for the meeting. For starters, we shared what we had been up to in the last year through our annual report, together with some important statistical pie charts. After, for the main course, we moved on to what we were planning in the future with contributions and provocations from current artists in residence In the Shadow of the Hand. Lastly, for dessert, we played with relationships and cared by creating abundant trifles. Don’t worry, we didn’t forget the constitutional matters, with the election of our Board of Trustees and Tidying Up Subgroup.
