The Temporary Centre for Resistance

03/08/2020

Hi everyone, this is a super important post for Kent UCU members.

Have you received an eballot asking you to take a survey on future ballot for industrial action? It might have gone to your 'other' inbox. It's really really important you vote on this, no matter which box you tick: we need to reach around 50% of membership in order to have any sense of what further action to take. Please take 30 seconds to just read the email and follow the link. Below is a picture of what the email looks like and if any of you want further information on what this whole process is, what the fight is about or anything else don't hesitate to get in touch.
All the best,

Betsy

Anyone interested in making a proposal with me?

Space available for two residencies

Two rooms are available rent-free in Raven Row, each for a group or organisation to use over one year, joining those groups already resident, from end November/December 2019 to December 2020. The available rooms on the first floor (pictured) are 18m2 and 21m2.

Applications are encouraged from groups (i.e. three or more people) or organisations working on collaborative and social projects, e.g. group or collective artistic, architectural or literary practice, grassroots activity/activism, work with communities, education, urbanism etc. Only non-commercial activity will be considered.

Applicants should use up to 300 words to explain why they need the room, and how they would use it. Supporting documentation would be helpful, in an attachment with a max of 2 pages of information, and/or 2 links.

Please submit applications to [email protected] with the subject title Residency application 2019, by the end of Sunday 20 October. Applicants will be notified before or by Monday 18 November.

The two incoming groups will be selected by a panel consisting of Alessio Antoniolli (Director, Gasworks), Janna Graham (Lecturer in Visual Cultures, Goldsmiths), Melanie Keen (Director, Wellcome Collection, formerly Director, Iniva), Jenni Lomax (Trustee, Raven Row) and Alex Sainsbury (Director, Raven Row). The same panel selected the original groups, who began residencies in June 2018.

The panel is hoping to find groups who can make a dynamic contribution to the community of residents in Raven Row.

Further details, concerning opening times and access etc. for residents, as well as links to information on current residents, are available on Raven Row’s website.

Since the end of 2017 Raven Row’s exhibition programme has been suspended. Its galleries and flats are now being used for residencies, until the end of 2020. Raven Row will remain in 56-58 Artillery Lane at least until 2029, and its exhibition programme will resume in due course.
