Join us for our latest Young Creatives Night, where you can meet other early-career artists and creatives in a relaxed setting.
Co-curated by a team of Duchamp & Sons alumni, these nights are designed for those aged roughly 21-28 and feature space for socialising, hearing from guest artists, and making new connections.
At October’s Young Creatives Night we’ll be joined by guest artist Dana Olărescu, who will be talking to us about her practice and leading a workshop as part of the evening questioning what sustains a young artist? What is the role of nourishment in your communities?
Join us for an evening of discussions, resource mapping, and hands-on activities using food as a tool to build collective power and agency
This edition is curated in collaboration with Duchamp & Sons alumni Sammara Abbasi, Mohammed Adel, and Fiona Verran.
Dana Olărescu is a socially engaged artist with a focus on challenging minority exclusion and environmental injustice. Through participatory methodologies that democratise access to art and knowledge, she aims to give agency to underserved migrant groups and people habitually excluded from decision-making processes, so they can become active co-producers of culture.
