An interactive art workshop, zine give-away and talk from UCL, Output Arts and survivors of domestic abuse, sharing their collaborative research project, Time for Tea.
Home Truths: Time for Tea
03 Jul 2025, 18:30 – 21:00
Led by Dr Karen Schucan Bird (UCL), artists Jonathan Hogg and Andy D’Cruz (Output Arts), alongside survivors of domestic abuse, Time for Tea is an innovative project that blends art, research, and survivor experience to generate messages about how to support those experiencing domestic abuse.
The project mimics domestic settings through a series of interactive art installations in public spaces, centred on the theme of "meeting up for a cup of tea and a biscuit" with friends and family. By creating safe spaces that are conducive to conversation, the group aims to raise awareness and improve responses to abuse.
As part of the Museum of the Home's Home Truths series, this interactive panel invites you to share a cup of tea and a biscuit with us, and each other.
Explore collaborative practices at the intersections of research and art, as well as methods for engaging the public with challenging subjects. Learn about the unexpected benefits of art-making processes and how these can be the perfect medium for unwrapping otherwise difficult topics.
Each attendee will receive a copy of the limited-edition Time for Tea zine. The Time for Tea project was funded by the ESRC Impact Acceleration Account (IAA) 2023-2028.
