First Thursdays, ‘A Set of New Skills’ with Sarah Poulgrain

Join artist Sarah Poulgrain and collaborators for an extension of her project, ‘A Set of New Skills’ at the IMA.

Through the project, Poulgrain prioritises skill-sharing as both process and outcome, inviting four other artists to work together to learn how to make welded chairs of their own design: Samantha Axiak, Angelica Roache-Wilson, Tyza Stewart, and Kate Woodcroft.

For this edition of First Thursdays join each of the participating artists for an evening of readings, discussions, skill-sharing, and sound performance, drawing on the collaborative nature of ‘A Set of New Skills’.

Poulgrain is interested in the potential for skill-sharing methodologies to form respectful relationships and create less hierarchical spaces for learning. You’re invited to come along and hear more about this approach to learning, sharing, and making.
