A visual artists residency and space for collaborative interventions. Studio 147 is a space for creative dialogue. This space itself is a permanent residence with a studio for artists who run and manage it, with an extra bedroom for a visiting artist, the studio is a lab for collaboration that doubles as a gallery space for open studio and other collaborative events. It is in the experimentation, not just the materiality of the work but conceptual and thematic this space seeks to foster or energise anew.

As part of the project being a research initiative, if given the platform, Studio147 will present a text around the exhibited works. This is part of a research project on post 94 contemporary art and Black politics.
