Dominic Campbell

Cultural Producer

Solutions are in our grasp. But not if we only continue what we already do.

Current Work

Working as an Artistic Director, Curator, and Producer of high profile activity, Dominic’s multidisciplinary practice changes culture. His recent work explores celebration as a change strategy, longevity as a driver of social change, the roles played by creative work in promoting equity and health, and displacement as a healing process.

Words of Strength

Vision and resilience

Vision

Ask questions, differently. Listen then act, collaboratively. Solutions are in our grasp. But not if we only continue what we already do.

Strategy

Dominic co-founded Creative Aging International (CAI) in Ireland, working globally encouraging people of all ages “to fall in love with their older selves and build a world for their grandchildren to grow old in”.

Impact

Through his fellowship journey he's developed a richer, deeper and more complex understanding of his role and his work. GBHI has shown it is possible to connect individual expertise to address intersectional inequities.

Motivation

Dementia is a cultural issue. Its alignment with ageism, prevalent amongst people with the least influence, means it impacts those already adversely affected hardest. I work through creative practice, asset based community development, and celebration as strategy for culture change.
