The Grafters Collective

The Grafters Collective is formed of 19 working class artists. They are all recent graduates/ in the early stages of our careers with accolades including awards such as Bloomberg New Contemporaries. A selection of 10 members will feature in this particular show: Edie Samuels, Namarata Singh, Jennifer Jones, Vernetta Chukwu, Mia Harwood, Emma Ogawa Todd, Melissa Newbery, Alice May Stewart, Tom Holland & Gem Bryant.

PUBLIC PROGRAMME
The structure of the collective encourages artists who are not exhibiting in the current show to participate through engagement projects. Beth Seeboo and Karl Murphy will host a free workshop which will invite participants to reflect on the
question “What does home mean to you?”. This will involve the learning of a craft skill which the answers will be expressed through- opening up group discussion and demonstrating accessible ways for the theme of the show to be unpacked.
