The exploration of practice-based research continues in the School. With a steady increase of students undertaking practical, creative projects – there seems to be a genuine interest in exploring the interdisciplinarity of artforms, subject areas and disciplines.
Yesterday February 18th 7:00pm there was a great evening of readings and performances called WRITE NOW held at Stratford Circus. Initiated by The Writing Centre and IPAD of UEL and moderated by Mark Hunter, the panel included staff and students from UEL contemporary writing practice subject area. This included readings and performances from: Tim Atkins, Tessa McWatt, and Mark O’Thomas.
There is also a monthly seminar series entitled Imaging Migration being held in Matrix East (see Seminars>Imaging Migration) in which a number of us are contributing as practitioners exploring ways in which we create, think about, imagine and represent the migratory experience – a global phenomenon deeply effecting each of our everyday experience.
IPAD and SmartLab continue their research seminars this semester.
