To mark Hive Curates fourth year in Enfield, we are delighted to announce our much anticipated open studios event ‘HELLO WORLD’ taking place 7th October 12-6pm. The event intends to showcase the work of its resident artists, reflecting the cultural diversity and range of artistic disciplines as a studio collective (ranging from painting, sculpture, photography, performance, fashion, jewellery and installation art). The event is in association with Enfield Council’s Festival of Industry, funded by the Arts Council’s Place Partnership initiative. Creative workspaces like Hive Curates represent the future of our emerging creative industries. This event seeks to celebrate the cohort of artists for 2023 that will go on to shape and influence Enfield’s growing art scene.
HELLO WORLD is where art transcends boundaries and fosters positive change. Meet our artists, designers and curators. Take part in a free workshop, enjoy live performances and food.
The art world isn't isolated from the pressing global issues we face today. This year, Hive Curates have been running a series of workshops funded by North London Waste Authority, with aims to reduce waste and present new material ideologies. In addition to the open studios, HELLO WORLD also includes an exhibition that asks us to consider how we can reduce waste positively in our everyday lives. A series of objects will be exhibited that have been restored through community workshops delivered by Huren Marsh, a designer/maker, lecturer and installation artist who has a background in furniture and lighting design. Titled ‘Repair, Restore, Reuse’, the series of workshops were centred around recycling and reducing waste by ‘rescuing’ broken, unwanted or discarded furniture and giving them a new lease of life through thoughtful and creative restoration in the Makers Yard.
Featuring artists: Clara Frain-Atallah, Chantelle Purcell, Georgia Ghaznavi, Hannah Pittman, Henrique J Paris, Huren Marsh, Iga Bielawska, Jenni Allen, Jo de Banzie, Kim Boafo, Mark Beattie, Sarah Larby and Theo Ahim.
Also featuring work from local artists delivered from the community workshops, 'Repair, Restore, Reuse.
