Introducing Groupwork: our new interdisciplinary peer-to-peer sharing space for artists, curators, critics, gallerists, and other creative practitioners to present ideas and works in progress for feedback, in an informal, low-stakes, and discussion-based environment.

Groupwork is a newly established mini-series in our Bow Skills programme, homing in on the potential of multidisciplinary spaces to generate peer-to-peer learning and the insights we can gain from other creative practitioners with different knowledges, interests, and lived experiences. These sessions are small, informal, and low-stakes gatherings, with an emphasis on discussion, sharing, reflection, and the building together of dialogues.

For this first edition, we will hear from independent curator Mariana Lemos and multidisciplinary artist Seyi Adelekun as they present works in progress for feedback and reflection.

Alongside Mariana and Seyi, there are three 20-minute ‘open slots’ for attendees who would also like to present a work in progress, project, or idea for feedback from others in the space (the 20 minutes includes both presentation and feedback time). For those who sign up, we will follow up with you to make sure we can facilitate what you need for your presentation!
