Lunchtime Talks
Ongoing
Lunchtime Talks are a series of informal presentations. We host them in our Pervasive Media Studio. They usually take place at 13:00 on a Friday, are free and are open to everybody.
Join us in the building and streaming online (on YouTube). Come along, bring a sandwich, and get to know more about the Studio community. Find out about current and up-coming projects, or residents' work.
From 10:00 - 17:00 you can stay at the Studio for Open Studio Fridays. This is a chance 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 help make conversations within the resident community happen. 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 Studio is 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.
Support these talks
As a charity, we want to keep events like this free and open to all. But they aren’t free to deliver. For example, to produce an accessible, hybrid Lunchtime Talk costs us around £1,000 each time. If you're in the position to donate, you can help us keep events like this free by donating on our website.
