Switch

An artist talk by Sophie Cundale, which looks at the trajectory of an artist's practice through the lens of shapeshifting, role play and fluidity.

The talk focuses on ways an artist can adapt/switch/pivot/shapeshift themselves and their work to perform and exist within new contexts, how to practically survive and thrive in the midst of jobs, time commitments and external constraints. Cundale will look at switching mediums, tricks for finding time, ways to conduct meaningful research, to inhabit multiple roles that can help support or provide material for an artist's work.

Sophie Cundale is a multi-disciplinary artist living in London.
