Abstract

The prospect of working in partnership with people and organisations in other fields is inherently alluring: there is the potential to draw from untapped knowledge, to connect with different communities and to expand capacity and ideas. But partnerships also represent risk, compromise and a possible loss of autonomy. They require practitioners to step outside of their professional comfort zones and to navigate external agendas. The dominant concept of ‘partnership’ is also vague and overused. Public organisations and services are increasingly expected to forge alliances across sectors, but the complexity of partnership working often goes under-discussed. Circuit afforded an opportunity to investigate the specific nature of partnerships between galleries and youth organisations, and to explore the factors that frustrate and motivate this area of work.
