Public Programme 2023
This years Associate-led Public Programme, in partnership with Turner Contemporary, responds to themes of social & ecological hybridity, as set out in the Associate’s first term curriculum entitled When The World Looks Back At You: about storytelling, ecology and the weird led by artist Saelia Aparicio. Through explorations of the voice, the body and sensitive connections to the natural and man-made networks that unite the world around us, the Associate-led Public Programme explores creativity and collectivity in green spaces.
This year we’re excited to announce our partnership with Turner Contemporary, who are generously hosting part of the public programme.
Turner Contemporary is one of the UK’s leading art galleries. Founded to celebrate JMW Turner’s connection to Margate in 2001, the David Chipperfield designed gallery opened in 2011. Turner Contemporarys work extends beyond showcasing world-class exhibitions, to driving the social and economic regeneration of Margate and East Kent and transforming lives in one of the most deprived areas of the UK.
