Presentation at Open Studios, Studio Strike, Clapham, May 3-4, 2013

  • Posted by Nazima Kadir
I recently presented during the Open Studios of Studio Strike in Clapham. I had rented a space in the studio for nearly a year—from July 2012 to the end of April 2013 and loved it! I’m still a member of the collective, which incorporates people who are both physically present and those of us who […]
