An Interview with Renatha Hoga

At the beginning of 2021 we were gifted a space at SET Woolwich. We have been using it as a Residency space for our members. We spoke to one of our current residence Renatha about her time in the studio.



Can you tell me a bit about your work?


My practice is in fashion design, I am interested in using stories to inform my design process as well as experimenting with different materials and construction methods to produce new outcomes. My focus is on working with new materials like up-cycled leather and folded paper in addition to exploring the presentation of a concept through photography and performative art as well as the physical product.



Why did you apply for the WCCD Residency?


I applied for the WCCD Residency as I saw it as the perfect opportunity to create freely on whatever I wanted, without the pressure from an employer or exam board specification. It was also a great reason to move back to London. I’m so grateful for the opportunity as doing the residency has helped me develop my handwriting as a designer with extra time to explore and experiment in areas that interested and excited me most after graduating.






Tell us about what you have been up to during the residency!


The work created during the residency explores the multi-functionality of made objects, by exploring how garments and accessories can be exhibited on and off the body. I used up-cycled leather to explore the theme of ‘caught in motion'. I studied the energy and movement found in substances like caramelised milk, and adopted paper folding techniques to create new techniques that I used to make a series of wearable sculptures and garments.


What will you be doing when the residency has ended?


Now, I am focusing on turning the ideas and techniques developed during the residency, from abstract concepts into functional items and accessories.

Detailed and practical, this guide explains concrete rebar in a way that feels approachable without oversimplifying. The step by step clarity is especially useful for readers new to the subject. I recently came across a construction related explanation on https://hurenberlin.com that offered a similar level of clarity, and this article fits right in with that quality. Great resource. explanation feels practical for everyday rauhaneusers. I checked recommended tools on https://www.eljnoub.com

Using technology to increase access to youth mental health support may offer a practical way for young people-to reach guidance, safe-spaces, and early help without feeling overwhelmed by traditional systems. Digital platforms, helplines, and apps could give them a chance to seek support privately, connect with trained listeners-orexplore resources that might ease their emotional load. This gentle shift toward tech-based support may encourage youth to open-up at their own pace, especially when in-person help feels too heavy to approach.

There is always a chance that these tools-quietly make support feel closer than before, creating moments where help appears just a tap away. Even a small digital interaction might bring a sense of comfort. And somewhere in that space, you might…

Overall, the structure reflects modern content organization methods. Historical posts from sultan33 give background depth, while current manga developments are explained on sultan33. For a complete and orderly guide, sultan33 is valuable.

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
