Guild Residency Summer 2022
This July we invited GUILD residency members into our transformed project space and the Art Hostel, for a week of conversations, activities, reflections and discussions.
“We’ve invited creative people we admire to join and share their thinking with us all.”
Three artists, including Lady Kitt and Two Destinations Language’s Alister Lownie and Katherina Radeva, and additional guests were invited to help facilitate the conversations and discussion topics. The curation of the cohort created a “…supportive space to share questions, search for answers and celebrate the accomplishments of its members.” Each day began with an Art Hostel breakfast, endured a hearty dose of tea and biscuits throughout, and ended with an evening dinner – all part of the residency.
Moondogs Productions joined us for the week and creatively captured the residency, see what we got up to here…
