This year's graduating students partnered with four leading arts organisations, Flat Time House,  Gasworks, LUX, and Southwark Park Galleries, to produce the following public projects:

Breath Variations - a commission by artist Christopher Steenson using sound, video and transmission based methodolgies to explore the materiality of time and the capacity of breath as a ‘least event’, as the artist John Latham termed it.

Blue Space: The Changing Currents of Resilient Waterways was a collaboration between artists Priysha Rajvanshi and Elise Guillaume, that responded to our evolving relationship with nature, through the creation of a provisional shelter that gives voice to the environment.

To Be Here With You consisted of five free workshops. Artists were invited to develop a workshop that began with an exploratory walk in the park, followed by guided activities in Lake Gallery’s Salter Space. Each session opened a pathway for audiences to appreciate the spaces we inhabit, to rediscover the spiritual aspects of nature, and to value our intimate rituals as something sacred.

One Time Only (O.T.O.) responded to the late British artist and theorist Ian White’s performances in nightclubs and was an event using the space of the nightclub to activate the intersections between music and the moving image with new commissions by artists Tarzan KingOfTheJungle, Anna Clegg and Adam Farah-Saad, alongside existing work by Ahaad Alamoudi and David Hall.These live works were presented as a club night at FOLD, supported by Futur.Shock. with DJ sets by HabibTati and Hellikisto.

With grateful thanks to Flat Time House, Gasworks, LUX and Southwark Park Galleries for their inspiring partnership and engagement with the MA2 student groups throughout the year.
