Testbed: Market to Market

Each year our Volunteer Front of House assistants take part in a collaborative project with guidance from Camden Arts Centre. This year’s project Market to Market seeks to explore and research different kinds of ‘marketplace’, both as a site, as well as a concept.

During their research, the Volunteers drew a parallel between their process of exchange when working collaboratively and that of the street markets which form an essential part of London’s culture, to achieve rich and culturally diverse outcomes.

Join us for a weekend salon where the team will present the culmination of their research in the Artists’ Studio.
