Kerry Jones is a multimedia artist, curator, project manager and educator based in the Scottish Borders who uses audio visual experimentation and micro interventions, gatherings and interactions to focus on creating and interconnections and community engagement, presenting alternative ways of processing the world around us.
River Culture Animateur (Middle Tweed) Connecting Threads.
Connecting Threads is the cultural strand of the landscape-scale project Destination Tweed. We connect creative practitioners with conservationists, environmentalists, scientists, river specialists and communities of place and purpose, to celebrate the River Tweed through our five-year programme of cultural activity.
Running through the south of Scotland into north Northumberland, the Tweed’s distinctive environments are rich with cultural heritage and contemporary creative practice. The river is a living presence through our towns and villages and reminds us that we are all part of something culturally and environmentally bigger than ourselves.
Project Development Officer Little Art Hub (LAH) Galashiels
An artist run space in a previously empty shop in Galashiels town centre, established in March 2024.
LAH provides a safe, accessible and inclusive intergenerational space for established and emerging artists, students, young and older people, the LGBTQ+ community, the creatively curious, high-street shoppers, visitors to Galashiels, those who may feel disengaged from traditional community spaces and activities and looking to make connections outside of traditional social activities available in Galashiels and those who are less likely to benefit from funded culture.
Words, Words, Words…
An ongoing project experimenting with alternative ways of facilitating and engaging in group discussions and project development. Using cardboard avatars, words contained in small boxes, imagined possibilities and random associations to liberate myself and participants from traditional structures of ‘presentations’ - everyone facing forward, singular listening, hierachical formats. Please contact me to find out and more or to discuss possible collaborations HERE
