Edinburgh TAA

FREAK TAA – Temporary Autonomous Artists Exhibition
Free & Reactive Edinburgh Art Kollective

We are a collective of local artists and residents who are looking to get people involved in a project that will bring a wasted, derelict and disused warehouse to life through various creative activities. We are self-organised with an inclusive ethos that encourages participation from people outside the art establishment and reached into the local community.

We are organising a free event that has an open access policy that will incorporate local residents’ art, performances, a showcase for local bands and DJ’s and also workshops where visitors can learn new skills from circus tricks to clothes customisation, dance to drama. It will be an opportunity for creative expression to become more accessible to everyone from all walks of life and of all age groups.

The disused building in Granton has been generously donated to us by Waterfront Edinburgh Ltd, a large development company that has a growing interest in giving something back to the local communities where their regeneration and development projects are taking place. We aim to transform this uninteresting and listless warehouse into an amazing and creative space, whilst providing unique opportunities for local residents who may never have access to such amenities. We want to promote social inclusion and creative education to this area of Edinburgh and further a field and get as many people involved as possible.

The event has been inspired by collectives in London, Bristol and Manchester and even European cities in Czech Republic, Poland, Italy and Germany that have held similar events that have been an inspiration to everyone that has attended. Activities will encourage participation through events such as a junk fashion show and many other situations where people can exchange skills and talents.

Now we have a warehouse we are looking for anybody who wants to get involved in whatever capacity and it will be running from the 10th-14th October. Some of the people we are looking for are a team of graffiti artists to have the pleasure of painting the WHOLE of the outside of the building. Any other artists, sculptors, photographers etc who would like to exhibit or even take part in workshops exchanging their skills with others. Anyone who wants to run a workshop in anything come and share skills - suggestions we are developing so far is circus skills, capoeira, clothes customisation, turntablism, dance, drama and many more. Anyone who wants to be involved in info stalls on current issues - if you have a message to put out there now is your chance. As it’s a total open access policy, anyone who wants to contribute with our younger visitors either entertainment or kind of kiddie workshops. Anyone who could help with promo - whether you’re from a magazine, website, etc or just could hand a few flyers and posters out here and there. Even just telling your mates and spreading the word. Any techies too - sound, lighting, rigging, stage etc would can help us make this a truly amazing event with shows like a junk fashion show, film night, band night, DJ showcase and more ...

We hope from this that you can clearly understand our aims and objectives and the positive impact that it will have on the local community and Edinburgh in general, the more people that get involved the better this event will be – the skies the limit. It is an event that we would ideally like to run yearly, so we want to make our first event memorable. We hope you can help us make this happen. Thank you for your time.

第4回 長居公園 大輪祭り

Long stay, 迷子の犬、一緒に暮らしてゆく 〜出会いを紡ぐ場の力〜

そこに村があった。
仲間と出会い、人間としての尊厳を取り戻し、生きる希望を見出した。

そこに出会いがあった。
「生きづらさ」を抱えた私たちが求めてやまなかった、かけがえのない生命力の発露とひとのつながりがあった。

そこに連帯があった。
野宿者・フリーター・・・。老いも若きも、その場が紡ぎ出す豊かな可能性を信じた。

2007年2月5日、私たちの大切な、長居公園の野宿者テント村は、強制排除された。
でも、出会いを紡ぐ場の力を信じる私たちは、テント村を終わらせない。可能性を摘ませない。
もう一度、これからも、大輪の花を咲かせよう。
