Home Studio began in 2024 and quickly grew into a loving community of intergenerational artists and curators from the Black and Brown; Queer and Trans community. We began by hosting workshops in an effort to share knowledge about building a career within the arts and are now ready to showcase what we have learned. Over the course of a year, Home Studio has been collectively curating our inaugural show, supported by Lewisham Arthouse and the Artist Represent Recovery Network.

Home Studio Presents: Playsure Network — Experiments Within Resistance brings together 13 Queer and Trans BIPOC artists and curators who are interested in collective disruption, resistance, and protest through Playsure. Playsure, a blend of play, pleasure, and care, is a cultural and ideological method that creates alternative models for revolutionary social reproduction.

Inspired by archival materials held at the Black Cultural Archives, this project traces the origins of Autograph: ABP back to the landmark 1985 exhibition The Black Experience at Brixton Art Gallery. Organised as part of a GLC-funded research report, the exhibition brought together the group who would go on to formally establish Autograph in 1988. Our artists respond to this history by engaging with questions around building sustainable practices and spaces — despite ongoing conjunctural crises.
