Collaborators will work with an online wiki based platform to curate and interpret online artworks from the Borough Road Collection Archive.

The Borough Road Collection Archive is a platform for experimentation, creative annotation and unexpected encounters with an online collection. The selection of digital objects includes images of Modern British artworks from A David Bomberg Legacy - The Sarah Rose Collection, archival material from London South Bank University, as well as contemporary artworks that respond to the collection, documentation and event records.

We are inviting participants to reflect collectively as online curators and fortune tellers, with and through the online collection. Collaborators will interpret the online artwork in response to embodied looking questions and speculative fiction prompts. We will consider where these digital objects might travel or live. During the session participants will also reflect on the type of online community we are seeking to build, helping to shape the terms and conditions of the platform. 

The platform was built by media artist Artemis Gryllaki and curator/researcher Theresa Kneppers as part of her research with the Centre for the Study of the Networked Image using a media wiki. The workshops will be run in collaboration with arts writer and independent curator Kelly Rappleye.

The workshop will take place online. No previous experience is needed to attend. You can book you free place spot at the workshop here.
