"By exploring immersive moving image, I hope to create a space that invites reflection on how the ocean stores memory, grief, and resistance – and to explore how light, like water, can carry ancestral traces forward.” 🌊 #TheOceanResidency #RoyalMuseumsGreenwich #LondonResidency

[thecollectivemakers @CollectivMakers]

We’re thrilled to welcome Blu as the artist selected for our next residency programme: The Ocean Residency in collaboration with @RMGreenwich

Through this event, we accomplished two of our key goals at The Collective Makers: creating spaces for underrepresented artists and initiating difficult but necessary conversations within the industry. Follow us to keep up with future opportunities and collaborations 💫

Last Friday we hosted our event Resilience at the Queen's House, in collaboration with
@RMGreenwich . It was a fantastic evening with a thought-provoking panel talk between the two artists, Danielle Royer and Canaan J Brown, and Adoudu, the amazing host for the conversation.

It has been a busy few weeks but here are some highlights from our last exhibition back in July 🔙 It was an honor to support Carl, Seun, Sharon, and Timothy as they shared powerful stories of migration, family, community, and identity through their incredible work. #artlondon
