reSIde is an initiative funded through Creative Scotland's ‘Creative
Futures’ programme which is designed to promote the professional
development, vision, connectivity and ambitions of Scotland’s creative
practitioners and organisations.
Support
for reSIde is also given by Scottish Borders Council, through the
Borders Textile Towerhouse (www.heartofhawick.co.uk/drumlanrig) and Arts Development.
reSIde offers two designer makers from Scotland and two from India, working in the area of textiles, an opportunity to
participate in a programme of residency and exchange. This is a chance
to extend personal creative boundaries through travel, engagement with
another culture rich in textile traditions, exchange and discourse with
peer practitioners and communities within the host country, research and
fieldwork.
Technical facilities and work space are offered by the
two host academic institutions – Heriot Watt University, School of
Textiles and Design (HWU), Galashiels in the Scottish Borders (www.tex.hw.ac.uk)
and the National Institute of Design (NID), Ahmedabad, Gujarat (www.nid.edu).
We each undertake two separate
residency periods of four weeks ie eight weeks in total, spent in the
host country (India to Scotland, September 2012 and March 2013 /
Scotland to India, October 2012 and February 2013) and remain involved
with partners in communicating progress and outcomes of the overall
project from the time of appointment until early June 2013.
