Bringing together the distinctive strengths of the Eastern Arc universities and Greenwich, Confluence is a two-day gathering to experience CPR in action, from creative writing and digital humanities to performance, film and interdisciplinary practice.

Confluence invites you to step into research that thinks—and feels—differently.

Creative Practice Research puts art, design, performance and media at the heart of inquiry: not just as outputs, but as methods, questions, and provocations.

Hosted at the University of Kent in partnership with iCCi, and marking the launch of our new Centre for Creative and Practice Research, the event unfolds around Stan’s Cafe Theatre’s internationally celebrated installation Of All the People in the World. Workshops, exhibitions and performances will flow around this shared space, shaped by the contributions of participants themselves.

Free to attend, open to bold ideas, and refreshingly PowerPoint-free—Confluence is a chance to explore, experiment, and connect. Spaces are limited, so sign up and be part of the current.

This is a free event.

ART31

ART31 takes its name from Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child, which states that ‘Children have the right to relax and play, and to join in a wide range of cultural, artistic and other recreational activities’.

ART31 is a vision created with, by, and for young people in Kent, championing the belief that all children and young people have an entitlement to access high quality arts and culture, to empower them to achieve their creative potential, and to genuinely engage young people as equal partners in any decision making that affects them.

The ART31 Youth Board is made up of young people from across Kent aged 13-25 who steer its governance, and influence policy and practice across the county and beyond, challenging the creative sector to examine existing ways of working and integrate young people into the core of their practice.
