Join King’s Culture for an afternoon exploring how creative practice can ignite innovative interdisciplinary research trajectories, inspire teaching, and is groundbreaking research in its own right. Researchers from any discipline who use arts based methods within their research, teaching or impact work are invited to come help us build and shape community around creative practice, as are artists who are working in residence across the university.

Hear from creative practice projects from across the university, including the Creative Catalyst Seed Fund programme, and there will be an opportunity for you to connect with colleagues around shared interests in creative practice.

King’s Culture is a specialist knowledge exchange institute supporting engagement with the cultural and creative industries. Through this event, we seek to support interdisciplinarity in teaching and research and build community around creative practice at King’s.

Tea & coffee will be available from 2pm, with the event starting at 2.30
