Trellis Arbor
The Arbor programme has been created to foster an interdisciplinary approach to creative research, and to create a physical and intellectual space for the development of meaningful artistic and academic collaborations.
Artists, researchers and teams from our partners at UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology, UK Dementia Research Institute and UCLH National Hospital of Neurology and Neurosurgery are paired together to spark new and interesting collaborations.
During the programme, they form a working relationship in which they share information and research; gain an insight into each other’s worlds and collaborate to co-create a piece of work which explores a topic of mutual interest and the artist’s practice. The final manifestation could be anything – from something that is displayed at one of the programme’s spaces – at Grays Inn Road or Queen Square, to a temporary work, performance work, digital, sound, text or a physical event.
Arbor is part of UCL's Trellis programme which creates opportunities for collaboration between artists, researchers and communities, pioneered on our new UCL East campus.
