This talk will explore the creative and technical process of translating complex artworks and design into carpet. Emma Cassidy, Head of Creative Design at Brintons will be in discussion with contemporary artist and film maker Shezad Dawood, to discuss Dawood’s recent collaboration with the heritage English brand. For the installation Dawood created a triptych of artworks incorporating motifs and themes from his heavily autobiographical archives of work which were then woven in carpet by Brintons. The discussion will be chaired by freelance writer Suzanne Trocmé and take place in the loading bay of Technique 132 Goswell Road.

Panel:

Shezad Dawood, Contemporary artist and film maker
Emma Cassidy, Head of Creative Design Brintons

Chaired by Architecture critic, writer and broadcaster, Tom Dyckhoff, this debate uncovers the essential ingredients for a creative community, by charting the transformation of this quintessential case study from declined industrial quarter in the 1980s to today's cultural powerhouse. We bring together key figures from this journey to uncover the conditions necessary to create a successful post-industrial neighbourhood, mirroring the UK's own reinvention from manufacturing to service economy.
