Working the Workshop

Friday 26 May, 6pm – 8.30pm

Saturday 27 May, 12am – 5.30pm

Do you run workshops? Are you an avid workshop attendee? Ever wondered what makes this space productive or problematic?

Now a staple of contemporary artistic practice, the workshop is used across cultural institutions as a key form of engagement. Why is it so popular, and is it really the best way to work through an idea, engage a group, or teach a particular skill?

Organised in collaboration with Bricks, this event is a workshop on workshops, for people interested and invested in this form of gathering, learning and co-production.

Our aim is to gather ideas, experiences, and questions through a series of artist-led workshops with Harold Offeh, Rita Evans, Grace Gelder & Frances Bossom exploring movement, sound and archive, framed by two collective group discussions.

Places for these and the artist-led workshops will be pay-what-you-can, with refreshments and a light lunch on Saturday provided.

Who will be there?
