An experiment in political art-making, a collective of limited duration gather to produce a single intervention in a public space. Designed to focus the skills drawn on in collective decision-making with a surgical and fast-paced format. The flash collective is a result-oriented exercise aimed at the very core of all social engagement, collective action.
This first-ever UK Flash Collective will respond to John Walter’s exhibition and proposition of the HIV capsid as a model of successful infiltration.
Applications are now closed. Anyone wishing to join a waiting list in case of cancellation should email bren@homemcr.org.
