Overall aim
To identify means of enhancing the effectiveness of cultural intermediation as a mechanism for connecting different communities into the broader creative economy

Cultural intermediation
• Split between creative industries and cultural economy• We haven’t been looking at the ‘sexy’ tech/media end of
creative industries
• Many definitions of cultural intermediation• Our focus has been on the
individuals/organisations/events whose mission is to connect more deprived communities into cultural activity

Community case studies
• Investigating culture as it appears on the ground in two communities with high IMD scores and complex issues• Walking interviews, community researchers, focus
groups• Ordsall: fragmented by infrastructure, divisions
between different neighbourhoods and Media City• Balsall Heath: much more ethnically mixed, major
problems with housing density, environmental issues, reputational damage via anti-terror CCTV / Trojan Horse

Cultural IntermediationInterventions• Focus groups / arts interventions• How would you like to see your neighbourhood
differently?• What things of (cultural) value would you like to see
more of in your neighbourhood?
• Setting up rolling ‘panels’• Can a cultural intermediary help realise that vision for
change?• Panel members co-design proposed interventions with
intermediaries• Panels decide which interventions to fund
