Aspex

Portsmouth

2023

We partnered with Aspex Portsmouth to facilitate a 6 week long Residency at for 1 Local artist who did not have access to a studio. This was an opportunity for the artist to experiment and explore, as we recognise the importance of having the resources, space and atmosphere to learn new skills, develop practiceold ones and to simply create without a pressing outcome or , timeline or outcome. 


The Residency hosted performance Artist Michelle Ezeuko who hosted a series of free 'radical imagining' collage workshops centred around art and radical imagination, and exploring the ways in which slow violence shapes our current realities and find ways to collectively envision new ways of existing and resisting.

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'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.
