In residency in the studio will be Peepshow Collective, presenting their Museum of Objects & Origins. They will assemble a collection of artefacts from an invented past. The collection will also be a living display as themed public workshops will create new works to fill the final few empty cabinets.
Elsewhere there are spaces curated by Ciara Phelan.

This weekend boasts a programme focusing on children's illustration, with storytelling and animation screenings. Next weekend looks at cartoons and comics, notably the underground/self-published scene. Visitors will be able to flick through the latest graphic novels and zines from London-based indies, take part in printing and design their own characters with the help of cult artists.
