Working Relationships: Artists & Organizations

How can artists and organizations establish strong working relationships to improve collaborative work? Artist Edith Abeyta will be in conversation with filmmaker Tony Buba and Judy Barricella. Buba and Barricella worked together as a team on the film Small Differences, a film project commissioned by the City of Pittsburgh – Allegheny County Task Force on Disabilities, and on Voices of Our Region, an oral history project featuring 57 first-person stories from Western Pennsylvanians living with disabilities. Buba collaborated with Barricella, then chair of the task force, to create the works. The conversation, moderated by Abeyta, will review their process for communication strategies, conflict resolution, and developing project flow when artists and organizations are engaged in large-scale creative work.
