Department of Archives and Creative Possibilities

Illustration Programme at Camberwell College of Arts present The Office for Speculative Landscapes, a dynamic illustration festival at Camberwell Space, blending workshops, performances, talks, and discussions. Reimagined as a hybrid critical-illustration studio and arts-education think-tank, the space will foster experimentation, community, and creative play.

Join us for a discussion and interactive session featuring INIVA's Archivist, Kaitlene Koranteng, and artist Sondliwe Pamisa, who has previously collaborated with the archive. This event offers a opportunity to explore the intersection of art, archives, and creative collaboration.

Designed for a general audience of all backgrounds and ages, this event invites anyone with an interest in art, archives, and cultural preservation. Whether you're an artist, researcher, student, or simply curious, this session will be engaging and accessible.

The audience will have the chance to participate in some writing exercises, discussions, ask questions, and engage directly with the speakers in a Q&A session.
