We've just uploaded some images and information on our 2007 residency programme Seja Marginal, Seja Herói (Be Marginal, Be a Hero) onto the archive section of the website. For the programme, we re-located to a space in central Cambridge, re-named ourselves Wysing Arts Cambridge, and invited five international artists' collectives and activists to take over the space for six months. It was a brilliant programme, curated by Sebastian Ramirez, and included furniture-upcycling workshops, establishing a radio station, lots of cooking and music, and loads of really great conversations with artists who had re-located from Lima, Barcelona, Oslo, Singapore and Chicago to be in-residence. I remember meeting Giles Round for the first time when he came to an event organised by i-cabin (Juliette Blightman and Sebastian Craig). And one of the residencies also hosted Publish and Be Damned. In a way, it seems like such a long time ago, as so much has happened since, but I suppose seven years isn't that long really... Or maybe it is. Have a look at the programme here.
