Peer Matters: Suggestions for Gathering
11AM - 1PM
In this workshop, participants will share and respond to one another’s images, engage with a series of creative prompts, and reflect on how they each gather and sustain elements within their practice – whether sparks, materials, ideas, relationships, or methods of making that are evolving slowly, remaining in the background, or acting as constant anchors. By the end of the workshop, the group will have produced a collaborative outcome.

Please register your interest for this workshop via the link below by Wednesday 13th May at midnight. As places are limited, we will confirm participation for the workshop by email on Thursday 14th May, ensuring a diverse representation of photographic practices. The workshop is free of charge.
If you don’t hear from us on Thursday, we do hope to see you at other events and opportunities to connect across the weekend. You can also sign up to the Photoworks newsletter to hear about future artist opportunities.

Peer Matters is a group of fourteen artists from across the UK who make, share and muddle through together. They originally came together in early-2024 as part of a programme supported by Photoworks. Meeting both remotely and in person, their shared dialogue and work take multiple forms: group critiques, DIY residencies, the design and facilitation of workshops, tabling at book fairs, collective self-publishing, and more. Alongside these activities, they sustain an ongoing exchange through the quieter, in-between dialogues that shape practice – offering space for one another as questions around making, labour, and money unfold and overlap.
