Heritage, Talent and Otherness: The Making of Common Threads

POSTED: 15 July 2021

Watch this short film for a behind the scenes glimpse of the making of the works in our Common Threads exhibition from the artists at Submit to London Studios in Hackney

 Common Threads is a group show from the self-taught artists based at Submit to Love Studios in Hackney, currently on display at Autograph. Using our collection of photography as a starting point and inspired by their shared lived experience of brain injury, the exhibition explores ideas of heritage, talent and otherness – and the many ways underrepresented stories can be told. Watch the video below to see the works in the making.
