No other theme seemed more suitable for UAL’s second TEDx conference than MOMENTUM.

Twelve speakers inspired UAL students and staff with their driving forces in life to build momentum and sparked ideas how to make use of our own creative assets to shape the future.

On March 11, 2017, we assembled in the Platform Theatre at Central Saint Martins for a day full of inspiration, dedication, passion and vision – TEDxUAL 2017.

The Art for the Environment International Artist Residency Programme (AER) was launched in 2015 by member of the UAL Research Centre for Sustainable Fashion (CSF) and UAL Chair of Art and the Environment Professor Lucy Orta and coordinated by CSF Associate Curator Camilla Palestra.

We can announce that Rachel Bacon  –  MA Drawing Alumni, Wimbledon College of Arts has been selected for this years’ AER 2017 Residency at the BANFF Centre in Alberta, Canada.
