To accompany our Staging Places: UK Design for Performance exhibition residency at  The National Centre for Craft and Design we are running a series of online events celebrating innovative practices in the East Midlands.

Wednesday 18th November

New Collaborations: Facilitated by Roma Patel and Fiona Watt

The development of this Working Group follows on from our partnership with Footprint Xchange to generate cross-sector dialogue around the Value of Design.

If you are a director, producer, digital artist, technician, maker, performer or you make work across a range of sectors – film, TV, retail, museums, heritage, regeneration etc. and you are curious to build new dialogues and collaborations through meeting, making and doing with designers this is the group we would love you to help us shape…

We are delighted to welcome the Mixed Reality Lab from the University of Nottingham to help us launch this working group.

The Mixed Reality Lab (MRL) has co-produced a number of renowned and provocative prototypical artefacts, interactive exhibits, and engaging artistic experiences. In doing this, they have worked with a range of exceptional local, national, and international artists throughout the last twenty years.
