New project brewing… Last Friday at Pyramid we looked at the concept “wicked problems” as a way of thinking about some of the big, systemic issues we’ve encountered during our research. Lots of diagrams drawn and more of Victor’s incredible lists!! #IrregularArtSchools

The wait is finally over! 🥰 Today, after three long years of closure, the Park Picture House is reopening its doors. It’s been an incredible journey to reach this moment & the whole HPPH team are really proud of what we’ve achieved. We can't wait to welcome you back! 🥳

We did it! Though today is the final day of #IrregularArtSchools research project, it’s also the beginning of new ideas, collaborations & calls for action. We’ll very soon be sharing research films & a publication but for now - big thanks to those who supported & took part.

So proud of you. As my amazing mentor, I have learnt masses from you & Pyramid about participatory research. Excited to see what new knowledge and policy change emerges from your work together exploring the many, everyday 'wicked problems' you have to manage as artists.
