Announcing our Artists in Residence

A hundred years ago in the before times, we started hatching ideas for a MAYK hosted/held/curated space that would offer a collaborative support structure for a new generation of artists and creative thinkers. One that wasn’t about hierarchical notions of training, and that could exist without an outcome focus. We wanted this space (interpret that as you will) to be able to shape-shift, to ultimately become autonomous, and to place an extraordinary group of artists working across different disciplines at the heart of our processes.

We’ve spent time engaging with brilliant peer organisations across the city, including Rising Arts and Creative Youth Network, and have invited from within these networks and beyond these eight young artists who we felt hold a unique vision and are making waves in their particular field.

They are in residence with us for the next year during which time we will gather, talk, listen, make connections, reach out and learn. All of us together.

We will do this online and offline and will respond to the curiosities of the individuals here and the power of the group as it understands itself.
