UCL x Bow Arts : Knowledge Exchange Lab

East Engagement UCL - retired account

Join us for an exploration into who our cities are for and how we create inclusive spaces, places and programmes

UCL East Campus: One Pool Street

Join us as we explore questions around who our cities are for and discuss how we, and others working in east London, create spaces, places and programmes that reflect the multitude of experiences of people who live here. Building on the work of UCL’s Cultural and Community Engagement team, this series of knowledge exchange and co-creation labs with Bow Arts will bring together artists, researchers, and local communities to contemplate the future of our cities and explore imaginaries, ideas, and speculative futures. In this first coming together, you will hear from East London Art Prize shortlisted artist <a href="https://alsarajialaa.co.uk/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Alaa Alsaraji</a> about her selected artwork Mother’s Living Room and her exploration into what safe spaces look like for Muslim communities in east London. Gillian Chan from UCL&#x27;s<a href="https://www.ucl.ac.uk/bartlett/igp/ucl-institute-global-prosperity" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> Institute for Global Prosperity</a>’s will talk about the IGP&#x27;s Citizen Social Scientist programme and how they are putting the voices and experiences of east Londoners at the centre of their research and how, working closely with Alaa, Gillian is working to help translate and showcase the work done by their citizen scientists. Members from the <a href="https://www.ucl.ac.uk/urban-lab/about/ucl-east/ucl-urban-room" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">UCL Urban Room</a> will then talk through their latest exhibition, which delves into the experiences of east London’s boating community and shines a light on the issues faced in accessing services for those who have no fixed address. These panel conversations will be followed by informal networking, with plenty of opportunities for you to connect with others in the room to collectively work and think through some of the questions raised and reflect on our positionality within this particular local context. P﻿lease note there will be photography taken at this event for UCL internal reporting and for sharing in print and social media.
