A Studio Away from Home
Residencies & Artist Support
What does it truly take to sustain an artist’s career across borders and disciplines? How does one find their voice, give direction to their work, and define the spirit of their craft?
Join the Bagri Foundation, Cove Park, and Cockpit for an evening exploring the profound impact of dedicated artist support. Part of the Samaya Series 2026: The Spirit of the Craft, this event looks at the real world manifestation of arts funding and creative freedom.
Through the lens of two unique initiatives, the Bagri Music Award and the Bagri Craft Award, we delve into how thoughtful residencies and structural support empower emerging and mid career international talent to experiment, grow, and bring ground breaking work to the UK.
The evening features two intimate, dedicated conversations alongside a live musical performance. We will hear from organisational leaders, trustees, and the award recipients themselves to understand how artists can be best supported to refine their practice.
Lineup: Ayman Hlal, Lauren Dyer Amazeen, Woo Jin Joo, Madeleine Furness
