For many artists, the studio is the essential site of artistic production. And yet, in the UK, these spaces are under-funded and under-recognised, contributing to instability and inequality in the sector. This event will examine the importance of the studio both in supporting practice but also as an enabler of community and collective action. In particular, the event questions whether studios are accessible spaces, and the role they might play in contributing to a diverse and inclusive art world.
This talk is programmed alongside the Freelands Foundation’s annual research commission, ‘The Representation of Women Artists in the UK in 2021’ .
Panellists: Dyana Gravina (Founder and Creative Director, Procreate Projects); Jane Morrow (independent curator and writer); Rosalind Nashashibi (artist). Moderated by Dr Charlotte Bonham-Carter (author of ‘The Representation of Women Artists in the UK in 2021’). The event will be followed by an audience Q&A.
