Matters of Interest is a twice monthly peer-led series of Skype based research-roundtables
designed to bring together artists and designers during ~and beyond~ the COVID-19 crisis. Each MoI takes place as a group chat, during which a subject of interest is researched and discussed by participants in one 90-minute conversational thread of online articles, links, texts, books, pdfs, images, loose and more formed thoughts. The research shared and discussed is then collated into a Reader available as a pdf downloadable > > > Big Shop Friday

‘Reader’ documents have captured a new vocabulary, sculpting a multitude of voices into a new one, a language of ‘togetherness’ formed through co-editing google docs associated to each Skype session and it’s theme. Mutual knowledge has been both shared and received, available in as big or as small doses as desired. There is no expectation and no limit, the Moi’s have deciphered a friendly foundation to prompt, familiarise and celebrate sharing.
