We are delighted to offer a one-year artist residency in the Centre for Creative Explorations which is based in the art department at Harris Girls Academy East Dulwich.

The aims of the CCE are to promote creative activism through feminist sensory researching practices. We are looking for artists who want to explore their practice in innovative ways within the school context that has young people at the heart of their practice (Please see the CCE website for an idea of the kind of socially engaged projects we are interested in).

The residency will run from November 2026 and end in December 2027.

The residency is unpaid, but the successful applicant will have a lockable studio space within the art department and access to the studio during school hours as well as week day evenings and Saturdays. There are also 2 funded opportunities supporting the residency: 6 funded workshops supported by Peckham Platform and part of the Goldsmiths CCA residency programme.

In return for the studio space, the successful applicant will offer interesting interventions in the CCE and art curriculum. The applicant will outline their vision of how this collaborative relationship could work, what they would like to offer to the CCE and what support they would need in return.

Possible areas include but are not limited to: creative research projects, workshops, technical support, lectures, exhibitions and after school clubs, however, we are open to any creative and innovative suggestions that fit with our ethos and relate to the context of Harris Girls Academy East Dulwich. Outreach into the community is one of our main aims and this would need to be reflected in the statement of intent.

Please note, we are looking for collaborative, open ended projects that situate the student at the heart of the researching process.
