Hypha Studios is a charity matching creatives with empty spaces & regenerating the high street with cultural hubs & events for local communities. By providing free studios & project space we act as an incubator for creatives to test new ideas without financial obstacles. We provide opportunities to those who might not be able to access space, support or visibility. In return for the free space, creatives organise public events, supporting the locality & benefiting the high street.

'Turn It In' was part of Central Saint Martin's graduate showcase. Recognising how the experimental and creative academic practices in the art school reside within institutional echo chambers of knowledge -we created an alternative library.

The emotive response to and discourse around the recent climate protests, whilst oftentimes misplaced, highlighted the bounds between spectacle, provocation, and engagement. But are the right conversations being sparked? Are art institutions fruitful sites for climate protest? What is the aim of throwing soup at Van Gogh? And is such an aim being achieved? Show less

'Holding Home in Our Hands' was a symposium and social event centred around the meaning, construction, and influence of home. In this era of globalisation, many young people have been affected by patterns of immigration and overseas studies, making the question of ‘home’ a complicated one.

The event investigated how we can get to grips with what ‘home’ is in a globalising world. Holding Home in Our Hands brought together speakers from a variety of disciplines to dive into the topic of home and how it relates to care, belonging, and artmaking in today’s social context. These short chaired talks were followed with a bar, in which our audience and presenters were able to dissect what home means to them — and to their communities. Show less
