After six months of beginning, building, connecting, asking and moving together, the closing session of Ideas Exchange season two, invites the community to reflect on what the season has made possible: in creative practices, in community building, and in thinking about why we make and create.

Participants will travel through a physical archive and collective memory of what this community has explored over the months. From there, participants will create a forward-looking mural: a collaborative, physical document filled with the images, words, and ideas that can be carried into the future.  

This session is facilitated by Tito Mogaji. He is the founder of Nourishment, a community and cultural agency focused on connecting underrepresented communities with arts and culture through curated experiences, campaigns and partnerships.

This event is for anyone living, working or studying in east London, aged 18+, emerging to established within the creative sector.  Booking is essential with limited spaces for on the day drop-in.

As part of the Ideas Exchange programme of interactive talks, this event will be documented through film, photography and live artist interpretation.
