Anneka French is an artist, writer, mother to two young boys and one of Coventry Biennial’s curators. Her recent experimental writing and poetry commissions include those for Photoworks+, Grain Projects, Fire Station Artists’ Studios, Axisweb, Creative Black Country and Living Memory.
She also writes regular reviews and essays on contemporary art for publications including Art Quarterly and Photomonitor.
In this session, that took place on the 20th October as a part of the HYPER-POSSIBLE programme, we explored ways to develop an artist statement through group and individual workshop activities. We explored the nuts and bolts of a statement while looking at ways we might incorporate narrative, anecdote and other creative elements.
We’re delighted to share the recording of this event for wider engagement:
Mothers Who Make is a fast-growing international initiative aimed at supporting mothers who are artists. Every kind of maker is welcomed and every kind of mother.
