Matters of Interest x Big Shop Friday
Casual Chat: Practice Sharing
Wednesday 10 March 2021
7–8.30pm
MoI has been running almost a year (!) and whilst it has been a deliberate move to spend time sharing the ~matters~ which lie in the between spaces of contributors individual practices, for this MoI we are opening up space to share practice, to look, listen and discuss recent individual work and projects as our contributors grow.
Completed / planned / in-progress / cancelled work welcome.

About
Matters of Interest (MoI) is a twice monthly peer-led series of Skype based research-roundtables designed to bring together artists and designers during ~and beyond~ the current COVID-19 crisis. Each Matters of Interest takes place as a group chat, during which a subject of interest is researched and discussed by participants in one 90-minute conversational thread of online articles, links, texts, books, pdfs, images, loose and formed thoughts.
The research shared and discussed is then collated into a Reader available as a pdf download.
Matters of Interest group-chats are an opportunity to form new relationships with others who hold similar research interests, with regular contributors joining from across the UK and Europe. As a peer-led series, themes are selected from contributors' suggestions.
We are excited to meet as many folks during the lockdowns as possible, and invite you to join by expressing an interest at hellomattersofinterest@gmail.com and @matters.of.interest
Matters of Interest is supported by Big Shop Friday, with whom we are exploring a physical manifestation of MoI once safe to do so.
