Delve into architectural principles focusing on community and repurposing, but also some art principles that emphasise the priority of architecture and interiors.
Kicking things off at the Nunnery Gallery, you will look at Mushangi's East London Art Prize shortlisted work 'The Question' (2023) and learn about his practice as an artist and an architect.
Mushangi will be your guide, telling the hidden architectural stories at Bow Arts Trust, Bromley by Bow Centre, and Roman Road Market.
Through walking the streets of the East End, you will also learn about how a design process can empower and engage a community in east London.
In this workshop you will:
- Learn about Kuda Mushangi's practice as an artist straddling both disciplines: painting and architecture.
- Be inspired by a fresh perspective on architecture and its relationship with various artistic practices.
- Explore ways to design a space that can empower and engage a community through architectural principles.
- Connect with other artists and practitioners with similar levels of interest.
This walk is open to anyone to attend, but will particularly resonate with artists who have a profound interest in architecture. No architectural background is required,
