Between October and January, the cohort will benefit from a shared studio space at High Holborn, professional development opportunities, collaboration and mentoring, with a focus on interdisciplinary practice.

UAL students from all colleges were encouraged to apply, and each candidate was selected based on their interest in collaborating with students across courses and colleges. Those involved will not only gain access to the residency space but will also be provided professional Development Funding, a crit session with Peer Sessions and an exhibition at Camberwell supported by Arts SU's Exhibitions Coordinator Aisling Ward.

This term's residency is made up of students, all of whom have never met, from a combination of courses. The following artists will collaborate to produce an exhibition ready for January!

• Aylin Leipold, BA Fine Art, Yr 2, CSM
• Hannah Wilkinson, BA Fine Art, Yr 3, Chelsea
• Jacqueline Ito, BA Fine Art, yr 2, CSM
• Kirsten Tingle, MA Biodesign CSM
• Layla Smith, Foundation Art & Design, CSM
• Lily Wood, MA Applied Imagination, CSM
• Lou Lassailly, Design for Branded Spaces, LCC
• Martin Del Busto, MA Fine Art Photography, Camberwell
• Palak Garg, BA Illustration yr 3, Camberwell
• Precious, BA Fine Art yr 1, Chelsea

Between now and the final exhibition, I'll be following the residency cohort as they run peer-led skill-share workshops to share knowledge across their varying practices and participate in Crit Sessions - a chance for everyone to present their work to each other and gain feedback in an inclusive environment. Join me, Evie, Student Arts Programmer, as I dive into this residency and explore what it's like to work on such an interdisciplinary project.
