During a series of workshops inspired by our new exhibition The Practice of Theories, we’ll be working as a group with artist Isabella Martin and our young people’s group Circuit Cambridge, to create and explore information sharing systems. Each workshop will be different and will include elements of writing, sound, pictograms, collage, printing and photography. We’ll be sharing ideas and learning to create content for group publications.

In the afternoon we’ll collect together all our ideas and creations to create a group publication.

If you have attended our family workshops in the past you can expect this activity to be similar but to be more focussed on collaboration and group work; reflecting our theme across 2016, Wysing Poly, which explores the practical application of ideas.

The Practice of Theories is a group exhibition that brings together artists who seek to make visible the intangible and who share knowledge or complex theories through their work and working methods. It includes sculpture, painting, sound and installation and we will spend time in  the exhibition as part of this activity.
