Please note: This event took place in April 2022
The wealth of ideas, real talk, and innovation in young creatives is beautiful and abundant. But the chances to realise the potency of their ideas are incredibly difficult for many young people. If your identity, perspective and experience doesn’t fit neatly into the narrow and deeply colonial mainstream educational system, then where does that leave you? What spaces for learning are accessible to you instead?
How can the Pervasive Media Studio become a more equitable and educational space for young people? Resident Joe Hill and Sumaya Hassan-Murphy have been engaging in some self directed research, looking at these questions. In this talk, they will talk us through the results of workshops and conversations and the questions and ideas that have emerged. This research and design project, led entirely by young people, has been ambitiously imagining what interactions in creative communities, with young people, could look like. In other words, Let’s F*** some S*** up! (in a healthy, joyous and equitable way!).
Join us to hear more from Joe and Sumaya.
From 10:00 - 17:00 you can stay at the Studio for Open Studio Fridays - join us to continue the conversation or work on your own projects. The Studio provides chairs, tables, wireless and a great space. You bring what you need to work with (laptop/mobile). Tell us what you’re up to, or allow us to facilitate conversations within the resident community. Studio staff and residents will be around to chat, answer questions, or tell you more about what we do. The open afternoons close at 17:00, sometimes with a trip to the Café & Bar.
The Lunchtime Talks take place in the Pervasive Media Studio, which is in the Watershed building. The Studio is just beyond the Café & Bar, turn right and then go down the corridor to your left (where the toilets are). The double doors here will be open, go all the way down until you reach the Studio. A member of staff will sign you in, and check your ticket, if you have booked.
