INTERP PROJECT⁠ Exhibition⁠ ⁠ The Interp Exhibition showcases a shared project presented through the viewpoints of 10 Industrial design students, aiming to bridge the gap between the natural world and the products we create. ⁠ ⁠ Conducted in Donegal Ireland and presented in London at Yorkton Workshops, the project explores a landscape as a catalyst of interpretation, resulting in 10 varied design projects.⁠ ⁠ The Interp project (taken from ‘interpretation’) was born out of the desire to showcase the practice of Industrial design through an alternative lens, showcasing the diversity in thought, approach and application of practice through engaging young thinkers in an experience-led design experiment. ⁠ Exhibition: 6th-8th June 2024⁠ 6th June - 18:00 Private View⁠ 7th - 8th June - 10:00-18:00 Open to public⁠ Space provided by Pearson Lloyd https://lnkd.in/ebYrpK_f ⁠Artists:⁠ Aoife Wong⁠ Arya Shelke Beth Morgan Lundie Erik Berg⁠ Huaijun Yang Lazare Caton⁠ Loan Delahaye Marcus Kerr Mollie Stockton⁠ Noé Chouraqui Zhehao Li⁠

Hope to see you here!

We are happy to invite you to a exhibition at Yorkton Workshops, People and Places. Curated by 15 emerging creatives and students from Chelsea College of Arts. Through their shared love of design, these individuals offer an insight into challenges within their habitus. Habitus, in sociology, is the way that people perceive and respond to the social world they inhabit, by way of their personal habits, skills, and disposition of character. In Sociologist Pierre Bourdieu’s words: the habitus is shaped by structural position and generates action, thus when people act and demonstrate agency, they simultaneously reflect and reproduce social structure.

@artrefugeuk is delighted to bring The Community Table back into Yorkton Workshops.⁠ As part of a filming-making project led by filmmaker Tony Gammidge @animaltales, Art Refuge will be shooting some footage in the run-up to the launch of a short film this summer.⁠
