We recently said goodbye to one of our very first cohorts โ a moment of mixed emotions, as itโs always hard to part ways but exciting to see what comes next. Wishing the Abbey Wood residents group every success as they begin a new chapter.

Absolutely fantastic this is an absolute must for any artist interested in developing an understanding of the breadth of art and how to begin to break out into a wider understanding of global majority thinking and ideas. Ground breaking.
