This edition of The Conch focuses on editing as a part of visual arts practices.
Together, we will consider editing in and out, leaving and returning to work, and the essay as a form for artists’ moving image.
The event is curated by Tendai Mutambu and Lily Tonge with artists Samra Mayanja and Camara Taylor and writer Olamiju Fajemisin.
Responses from the audience are invited throughout the evening. Please email questions in advance to lily@southlondongallery.org or submit questions through the chat function on the night.
About
The Conch is an open forum for emerging artists and writers that invites critical feedback on work in progress and open discussion in a relaxed atmosphere, outside of an academic institution.

Her work has been published by frieze, Contemporary&, Brand-New-Life, Burlington Contemporary, Kunsthall Bergen, and the Salzburg International Summer Academy of Fine Arts, among others.
