Somers Town Arts & Culture Virtual Work Experience

Regent`s Place

Exhibitions give an opportunity to tell stories, raise awareness and communicate with audiences.

Through a five-day schedule of interactive webinars and group sessions, we will support you to design an (imaginary) exhibition. Over the week you will work through the planning stages to curate an exhibition which celebrates Somers Town History of activism and community action.

You will use your imaginations to dream up an exhibition inspired by Somers Town’s history. This is a place where world-changing ideas of social reform and justice took root: the ideas of Mary Wollstonecraft, George Padmore; Basil Jellicoe and Elizabeth Garrett Anderson still have resonance today for women’s rights; Black history; and medicine.

This work experience includes creative thinking and more practical planning and logistics, and will rely on group work and collaboration. The week will also include communication workshops.

No experience is necessary, just open-minds, big imaginations and a willingness to collaborate with others.

Session highlights include:

Workshops with a selection of professionals with real life experience of designing fantastic exhibitions and cultural events

Local history on Camden activists and heroes

Marketing and Communication workshop with experts
