Peer Matters is an artist-led development programme, facilitated by Eva Jonas, Ezra Evans, and Marguerite Minnot Thomas, supported by Photoworks. Together with Eva, Ezra and Margot, the participating artists are: Alexandra Davenport, Anna Sellen, Chiara Zandonà, Ed Sykes, Emile Kees, Eva Jonas, Ezra Evans, Georgina McNamara, Marguerite Minnot Thomas, Phil Hill, Polly Palmerini, Roz Doherty, Sebastian F. Mahon, Sergey Novikov and Siddharth Khajuria.
Since their monthly online gatherings began in March, the group have taken part in exercises that explore their individual and collective artistic experiences. Alongside traditional crit group frameworks of sharing and receiving feedback on projects, the group has taken part in ‘grounding exercises’, discussion, movement, and prompts that foster alternative modes of exchange, reflection, and learning. Peer Matters will be bringing their community-based ways of learning and developing one’s artistic practice to life at the Photoworks Weekender.
They will be staging an exhibition and a public programme consisting of workshops, roundtables and other artistic and community based activities and alternative ways of learning. These events will feed into a large installation (or Live Wall) within the exhibition that reflects both Peer Matters members and the wider Photoworks community brought together through the Weekender.
(The exhibition continues until 4th Nov)
