Join us for a reading group hosted with Social Circles within the setting of A Bedroom for Everyone by Ed Webb-Ingall. We will be reading a text together inspired by Webb-Ingall's exhibition and social practice. The text will be shared with all joining three days prior to the event, we will read the text together on the day so no need to read beforehand but you are welcome to.
This event is free to attend.
Social Circles is an artist-led Brighton-based collective of socially engaged artists, (formerly known as Brighton Social Engaged Artists Peer Group), committed to supporting socially engaged practice, individual artists and their processes. We work in a variety of ways together and with groups in a multitude of media, including sculpture, film, photography, mixed-media, drawing, performance and social happenings. Established in 2020 during Lockdown, it is currently running monthly meet ups to provide a supportive network for artists who work in this field in Brighton. Members of the collective have presented at ‘Acts of Transfer’ Towner Eastbourne, Eastbourne (2022) and ‘Structures of Community’ , a symposium on social practice at Brighton CCA (2022+2023). The collective is currently rapidly expanding and developing its identity, focussing on supporting and nourishing socially-engaged practitioners to develop healthy and sustainable practices, in an increasingly challenging context, in demanding and often exhausting roles.
Members: Katy Beinart, Helen Dewhurst, Isabela Vasques, Jenny Staff, Susie Deadman, Zoe Toolan, Polly Wright, Neil Pavey, Gil Mualem-Doron, Charlotte CHW, Helena Taylor, Arabel Lebrusan and Abigail Horn.

A Bedroom for Everyone is an exhibition comprising a newly-commissioned animation by filmmaker Ed Webb-Ingall, stemming from a long-term body of work that asks what the role of filmmaking is in response to the current housing crisis in the UK.
Join us at Towner's Cinema in Eastbourne for a special screening programme to coincide with Ed Webb-Ingall's current exhibition A Bedroom for Everyone.
