We will be exploring, observing and playing with processes like monoprinting, DIY photograms using natural developers, writing and photographs. Everything generated during these workshops will be collaged and shared with participants, families, neighbours and the wider public through the form of a kind of newspaper at a later date.ABOUT KNEEDKneed is a collaborative practice formed by Ishwari Bhalerao and Leonie Rousham. We are interested in building systems of care, support and resistance where external pressures are causing these to be exhausted or lacking. Our workshops and studio practice focus on collectivising experiences, memories and stories around our ecologies, labour, time and care, mobilised as tools to resist systems of oppression, exhaustion and isolation. Our approach to making work is centred around process, conversation, imagination and friendship.ABOUT TURF:Founded in 2013 by Croydon locals, Turf is Croydon’s homegrown artist space and the first entirely artist-run contemporary art space in the borough.
