Join us to celebrate the Common Ground project and take a short walk to see the launch of a new outdoor display at Old Street Digital Canvas.
Common Ground is an annual collaboration between Autograph and UAL Insights which invites a group of local sixth form and further education colleges students to explore themes of identity through photography. Created and facilitated by Adrian Wood and D Wiafe, the 2025 iteration of the programme, On Set, explores personal histories and self-representation. The group are invited to reflect on the people, places and things that matter to them and to think about how they build a set which offers clues about who they are and what they’re in to.
During the event there will be a pop-up display at Autograph showcasing the work created by the group during the programme alongside speeches, music and refreshments. The full event schedule will be published soon.
