Kupambana / Chelsea College Exhibition: Cookhouse

Hello All,

This month has seen two projects that i've been working on over the past 6 months come together. 

The first is 'Communicating Values' a Chelsea College of Art & Design / Kupambana Art Foundation Collaboration. The project aimed to create an exchange of dialogue between Lewis PR employees and students and alumni at Chelsea College. The culmina



First thing I have to say about this project is that I regret not giving the title more thought. It came out of back and forth emails as well as questions of value and value structures that had arisen within my research at the time of the start of this project. I think a more appropriate title would be 'Limits of Language' or maybe 'Do We Know More Together?' 

Anyhow, the 6 month project ended with what I thought to be a successful exhibition that showed what we'd been doing in our discussions with one another and also art practice based responses within groups.









The second project that i've been working on over the past 6 months was 'Not Knowing: APG / CCW / Chelsea Salon'.

I've post more details about this project here:

Introduction As an artist-in-residence for the TEAM LEWIS Foundation , I research important social and sustainability issues within art and culture at the  intersections of the creative and communication industries . Last month, I hosted Earth Day , which inspired me to write about how art can promote a more sustainable future.  Art has been a powerful tool for advocacy throughout history, particularly in global challenges we’ve faced over recent decades. In more recent years, art projects have become a means of promoting environmental justice.  Art has the capacity to raise awareness, to engage creativity for addressing complex problems, and may also support transformation to sustainability ( Dieleman 2017 ). However, the impact and outcome of a given climat
