About

Our regular talk night returns. How do artists build connections? Join us for an evening of talks by creatives from the East Midlands. At Show & Tell, we’ll hear from Mateus Domingos, the artist behind ‘Carrier Bag Fictions’, an exhibition questioning technology and exploring collective production and protest. Our second speaker is Sheila Ghelani. Sheila is a studio holder at Modern Painters, New Decorators. Since 1995 her care ‘full’ practice has been cross-pollinating ideas, materials, people and places. Our bar, shop and gallery will be open all evening. If you have any access requirements, please get in touch at mpndprojects@gmail.com.
