Thoughtscapes for Deciding(s) A (critical)empathy ecology approach is the emergent publication outcome from the 2022 artistic research project City of Empathy. The book is launched under art organisation VHDG’S public programme during their Gemeentegoed exhibition.

Food, insights & things that could be, for all
[Dutch below]

What are the best ways for us to live together? How do we both participate in society and find space to access our needs and desires?
Over several months, artist Katie Ceekay kept these questions close to heart, as she carried out the long-term socially-engaged project: Complex Public Service.
By attempting to run her artistic practice as a public service, Katie closely collaborated with several members of the local community, on a journey of deep togetherness, participation and connection through food. What was found was both a plethora of kindness to be nurtured, alongside alarming gaps in our basic social systems; gaps which might better be stitched back together via creative and realisable means.

Appetite for ReConnections publicly opens up the thinking behind this project, in a way that is accessible for all, through film, reflections and a shared meal. It is an event and a space to ask ourselves what we might need, to become curious, to let go of the dangerous divisive nature that is distracting us from our empathetic, togethering potential.

Sign up here to join the event on December 18th at De Westerkerk Leeuwarden.

🇳🇱 Eten, inzichten en dingen die kunnen zijn, voor allen.

Wat zijn voor ons de beste manieren om samen te leven? Hoe nemen we deel aan de samenleving en hoe vinden we ruimte om toegang te krijgen tot onze behoeften en verlangens?
Gedurende een aantal maanden hield kunstenaar Katie Ceekay deze vragen nauw aan het hart bij de uitvoering van het langlopende maatschappelijk betrokken project: Complex Public Service.
Door te proberen haar artistieke praktijk als een openbare dienst te runnen, werkte Katie nauw samen met verschillende leden van de lokale gemeenschap, op een reis van diepe saamhorigheid, participatie en verbinding door middel van voedsel. Wat werd gevonden was zowel een overvloed aan vriendelijkheid die gekoesterd moest worden, als alarmerende hiaten in onze fundamentele sociale systemen; hiaten die beter met creatieve en realiseerbare middelen aan elkaar kunnen worden genaaid.

Appetite for ReConnections ontsluit publiekelijk de gedachte achter dit project, op een voor iedereen toegankelijke manier door middel van film, reflecties en een gezamenlijke maaltijd. Het is een gebeurtenis en een ruimte om onszelf af te vragen wat we misschien nodig hebben, om nieuwsgierig te worden, om de gevaarlijke verdeeldheid zaaiende aard los te laten die ons afleidt van ons empathische, gezamenlijke potentieel.

Meld je hier aan voor het evenement op 18 december as. in De Westerkerk Leeuwarden.

What does this little jar have to do with being political? 

How we choose to operate our practices can be an intended political act. How we come together in common-ing can occupy political space. Because in reality, when is something not political?

Sometimes we over-complicate what we think we need to add nourishment, confidence, togetherness & space to our lives. Really we just need to find ways to co-exist. There's great complexity in the simplicity of
