This article published in The Guardian titled "‘My studio costs half my income’: can British art survive soaring rents and property developers?" contextualises current issues of displacement that artist communities working in the capital are facing. The research project referred to in the article, was initiated through students from UEL's Unit A and Central Saint Martins working on this subject under direction of tutors Carsten Jungfer and Fernanda Palmieri and Oscar Brito-Gonzalez during the 2022-23 academic year (phase 1), and expanded into a collaborative research project with SPACE Studios, Aboard and graduates from both architecture schools working as co-researchers with support from the Mayor of London / GLA (phases 2+3). We are currently seeking funding for phase 4 to conclude, bring together and publish the findings.
