The artists at Submit to Love Studios make their mark on our #ThursdayLate gallery opening. Their pop-up exhibition Common Threads features work by 23 artists from the Studio collective - all of whom have survived brain injury.
We'll kick off the evening in Gallery 1 with a two short talks, responding to Sharif Persaud's exhibition exploring identity through his experience of autism and contemporary life.
In Gallery 2, singers and musicians from Headway East London will then perform an accompaniment to Common Threads, celebrating the Studio and the images in Autograph's archive that inspired the show.
Due to concerns over the spread of COVID-19 (Coronavirus), Autograph is temporarily closing until further notice.
Our exhibitions and events are postponed, but we look forward to welcoming you back later in the year.
If you have booked a free ticket to this event, your ticket will still be accepted when we reopen and the event is rescheduled.

Common Threads
Submit To Love Studios pop-up at Autograph
Ways of Being
A month of exhibitions and events focused on issues of visibility and disability.
Based in Hackney, Submit to Love Studios is home to a collective of self-taught artists. These artists have developed a set of unique practices and interests, refined over more than a decade.
All of the artists have survived brain injuries - some use this to inform their work, whilst others take inspiration from the world around them.
The studio is based at Headway East London, a charity supporting survivors of brain injury.
