Cath Ford:
Cath's background is as a community artist and she worked for Action Factory Community Arts in Blackburn for 19 years before becoming freelance in 2010. Recently, much of Cath’s work has centred on collaborative participatory projects where digital technologies have been paramount in the documenting, recording and publicising of the work. Cath will further this work and alongside developing her own practice and sharing this with the residents she will be key to documenting and marketing ground-UP to wider audiences on an on-going basis.
Additionally Cath has great experience of being involved in mentoring schemes with both students and emerging artists. Cath also sits on the ‘In-Support’ panel for the successful In-Situ project in Brierfield.

Dr Stephanie Hawke
Stephanie is Programme Manager for Creative Learning with Mid Pennine Arts and Ground-UP Creative Collaborator. She has a PhD in heritage studies with a thesis focusing on heritage, sense of place and the principles of ecomuseology. She regularly presents her research, most recently at the PLANED forum in Llanelli in January, and at the Ecomuseums 2012 Conference in Portgual last September. Stephanie’s research and contributions to international symposiums and publications on sense of place, will bring an invaluable perspective to the processes and progress of ground-UP. Much of the content of Stephanie’s recent research is relevant and transferable both for informing the process of engaging the communities and the understanding of the geographical place. It is the ambition of ground-UP that Stephanie will have papers published on the processes undertaken throughout ground-UP and how this has allowed participants, resident artists and other people involved with ground-UP to further understand and appreciate the ‘Place’ of SW Burnley.
