Culture Lab: Inkheads

Culture Lab: Inkheads

I was selected to take part in the Culture Lab Inkheads residency at Metal in Southend on Sea. Ten comics artists from across the UK and overseas following an application and selection process were selected to spend the week together, exploring their practice, exploring Southend and surrounding areas. 

At the end of this residency we each contributed a new comic strip. These were collected together, published in the Trawler magazine and exhibited as large prints at the Village Green festival.

‘We believe that everyone deserves a rich, cultural life, and where you live should not be a barrier to this. We hold time and space for artists of all ages and backgrounds to forge new ideas and realise their potential. Our approach celebrates place, builds local connections and nurtures talent, encouraging experimentation, collaboration and co-creation.’
