Palace Cinema Art Collective

The group is led by Senior Curator at Art D’Egypte, who organised UNESCO-patroned exhibitions at the Pyramids of Giza, and other historical sites, and worked with Christie’s and Google Arts & Culture and teach art and curation at the London College of Contemporary Art. The group comprises 17 creatives, producing interdisciplinary art and programming community practice. Some notable affiliations include moderating talks at the Royal Academy, exhibiting and presenting work at the Barbican, BBC Sounds, Tate Lates, ICA, BFI, Chelsea Space, Museum of London, BAFTA and Camden’s Arts.

All of the group have strong ties to Camden, through living in the area and education at Central Saint Martins. They aim to leverage these connections in their collaboration with Hypha. Across the group, they’ve had partnerships with spaces such as Camden People’s Theatre, Highgate Cemetery, Old Diorama’s Art Centre, Camden’s School for Girls and local food spots. Their proposal emphasises workshops, community and group exhibitions, and collaborations with Camden’s charities. Their initiatives will engage locals through film screenings, workshops, cultural dinners, and public programs that democratise art and foster cultural exchange. With key themes of identity, memory, inclusion, sustainability, and gentrification.


Public Programme:
The group’s public programme will include Open Studios, a 24h Cinema programme, a seminar to discuss excerpts of “Wicked Arts Assignments: Practicing Creativity in Creative Art Education”, The Bell Jar Society sessions – including readings, creative activity and discussions, Film and Experimental night in collaboration with Slade & CSM, and Supper Clubs.
