Artist in Residence
at
575 Wandsworth Road

June 1 - September 30, 2024

This virtual artist residency is part of an 18-month research project that aims to initiate a new international Contemporary Art in Heritage Network, bringing together UK and overseas academics, curators, artists, heritage and historic landscape organizations, and museum sites to exchange and explore international and transnational approaches to contemporary art in heritage practice.
This research project is being led by Newcastle University in partnership with the National Trust, International Coalition of Sites of Conscience and the Artist Museum and Studio Network, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC).

Transnational Contemporary Art in Heritage Network

Virtual artists’ residencies in heritage places

Online symposium: 11am – 3pm, 9 November 2024

Co-hosted by Newcastle University and Arts&Heritage

Join the Newcastle University research team, international partners, host sites, and participating artists to discuss the series of pilot virtual artists' residencies undertaken as part of this Arts and Humanities Research Council funded project, as it comes to a close.

At this event we will hear from residency hosts and the four international artists - Nidhi Khurana, Liliya Lifanova, Mohammad Sabir Sabir, Yingmei Duan - as they reveal how they responded to their virtual residencies at National Trust Bateman's (Rudyard Kipling’s house), Van Gogh House (London), Afghanistan Memory Home (online museum), and National Trust 575 Wandsworth Road (London), the home of Kenyan poet and artist Khadambie Asalache.

You can find out more about the host sites, the artists and the wider research project here.

The symposium will take place on 9 November 2024, 11am-3pm GMT, on Zoom.

Please register by Monday 4 November to attend this free online event.
