Collective Creativity Workshop

Workshop hosted by London-based group Collective Creativity, who will offer critical reflections on the history and the contemporary circumstances under which students and other people of colour experience contemporary art school curriculum from the perspectives of QTIPOC (Queer, Trans* and Intersex People of Colour) creative practice. Collective Creativity produce spaces that are explicitly inclusive of, and created for and by, people of different sexualities and genders, and people of colour.

This workshop will creatively explore surviving and thriving in the art school as BAME/ artists of colour. Using the ‘Surviving the Art School’ Publication, produced by Collective Creativity with local art students and published by Nottingham Contemporary, as a starting point in order to gain insights into what this visually entails. Please note, this workshop is for BAME/artists of colour.

Collective Creativity is an intentional informal non-hierarchical collective space created to share ideas to reflect on texts/films/art (and more) in a group setting, that inspire, interest or provoke us and/or our practice. Collective Creativity is a group formed out of necessity, to carve collaborative space outside of the institutional framework where a specific Black QTIPOC (queer/trans* people of colour) voice and experience could be nurtured. Collective Creativity are Evan Ifekoya, Raisa Kabir, Rudy Loewe and Raju Rage.
