Part 1 Project 2024

Assemble! imagines a revival of an anarchist community in Ouseburn, Newcastle Upon Tyne, through a programme that facilitates activism through art and expression. The institute questions conventional methods of learning and introduces an alternate way of communicating beliefs and ideas using visual means.

As a response to art being lost to capitalism and consumerism due to the boom of social media, Assemble! acts as a performative venue that promotes the propaganda of playfulness and spontaneity by adhering to anarchic principles. By giving agency to the community of Ouseburn, this framework creates a space to give a voice on significant social and political matter in the tumultuous global environment.
