Chrissie Tiller
Chrissie Tiller is a creative consultant and practitioner working in the arts, business and not for profit sectors alongside her current role as Director of the MA in Participatory and Community Arts at Goldsmiths, London University. Following a Churchill Fellowship to explore the wider impact of the arts in economic, social and political change in Central and Eastern Europe, she initiated and ran a number of major transnational programmes focused on inter-cultural dialogue and the role of culture within society. Recent and current work includes programmes in Central, Southern & Eastern Europe, the EU, Turkey, Palestine, Uganda and Japan.
All Chrissie’s work is informed by a passionate commitment to the possibility for everyone, no matter their class, education or cultural background, to engage with the making, sharing and enjoyment of the arts. As evaluator, trainer and critical friend she combines rigour of thinking with the same creative approaches that have led all her practice. She writes extensively on current arts and cultural issues and is frequently invited to speak on the role of participation in particular. She is currently EU expert on Participatory Governance in the Cultural Sector for Voice of Culture.
