Studies in writing with Rebecca Jagoe

7 December 2024

an art writing workshop

This workshop is for adults. Workshops are free and all materials are provided. Booking is essential

This workshop is aimed at people with an interest in pursuing writing as part of their practice.

Rebecca Jagoe is an autistic artist who works across text, performance and sculpture.

Their work examines how experiences of illness, madness and gender are informed by specific Western, imperialist narratives around the ‘human’, and its relationship to language, monstrosity and animality.

Their artworks have been exhibited at Site Gallery (online), Somerset House, and the Whitechapel Gallery. Rebecca has recently won the inaugural Prototype prize for artists working at the intersections of different literary and artistic forms.



Studies in…

For this series of workshops we will be looking into artists studio practices, generative processes, and/or ways of working.

Each time one artist will share an element of their creative process, or an idea that represents the way they build work within their studio practice.

We want to make time to engage with artist processes, and studio activity. You might learn a new skill, a different approach. We will also learn about the artists practice in an active way. It might open up ideas and new ways of thinking about other artists work, or new ways working in your own practice.

Not all the artists have given lots of workshops before, so we will have a patient and generous approach as workshop participants.

Sometimes we want to try something, but need to take some time to get into it, or maybe quickly realise it’s not for us. Workshop participants are always welcome to step away, take a break, return or not return, at any time in the workshop.
