Three ARU alumni, Ellie Breeze, Denise Kehoe and Ary Hilfiker talk about how they formed as an art collective following the completion of their MAs at ARU, and how this then led to running the Motion Sickness Project Space in Cambridge, UK. They discuss the practicalities of running a space as well as their vision for the gallery. They also talk about Motion Sickness Playdates, the series of artist network events they ran in 2019 and how you can start your own projects.
During the event you will have an opportunity to ask Ellie, Denise and Ary questions and discuss your ideas with them.
