As part of Return To Dreamphone, the solo exhibition by Barham Park Studios artist-in-residence, Nick Murray, you are invited to join a branching conversation exploring collective action, community forming and playful arts. This is a space to share ideas – practical and fantastical – about how we live and how we can go together better.
We all go together is a relaxed unconference* to share experience and grow our communal knowledge. There is no set programme structure, and everyone who attends is invited to speak or run a discussion if they wish.
Sessions are 20 minutes and you can run a session on whatever you want. Present a question you want to delve into, share a project you are working on, play a game, lead a walk. It’s an opportunity to widen our knowledge pools in unexpected ways.
It’s intentionally informal and low tech. There’s no need for powerpoint presentations, or complicated props. This is a space to share on equal footing and to open up new conversations.
*Inspired by the unconference format – particularly Jo Summers’ Underdeveloped and Mattie Brice’s Lost Levels – and Valentina Karga’s Gigantic Jelly Blob.
Nick Murray is a producer, composer and artist making interactive sonic and narrative work focusing on loss and digital cultures. This often takes the form of games, interactive poetry and performance. From September 2024 Nick is the ACAVA resident artist at Barham Park.
