Platforms for Cultural Engagement Activities 

Research collaborations supported by King's Culture often result in a commission for a public-facing event. King’s Culture offers a range of physical and digital spaces where these can take place.

  • Cultural partnerships: We can support researchers working with an artist or cultural organisation to develop research insights and impact, engage particular groups, and present effectively to King’s communities or the wider public. 
  • Creative programming & production: We offer advice, support, and production for public-facing programming that has research and student experience at its heart.

King's Culture's programme

Our programme consists of:

  • Annual flagships: Culture supports major cross disciplinary projects that work to an annual theme through direct budgetary support and staff resource. 
  • Smaller installations in the Arcade space: We can accommodate around four to six smaller pop-up or self-managed exhibitions per year that use existing equipment and facilities. 
  • Student-led projects: Students will be offered regular opportunities to hold events, workshops, and exhibitions in the Inigo Rooms, Arcade, and Science Gallery London.
  • External platforms: The Culture team can broker introductions to external cultural partners for the purposes of engaging audiences with culturally engaged research in new ways. 
  • CultureCase: This online platform is a searchable database of summaries of academic articles. Cultural practitioners can access evidence around the impacts of arts and culture, and gain insights to inform future planning.

3 Days of Fat, a collaboration between Thought Collider, Arne Hendricks and the Department of Nutritional Sciences at King's, was a series of 'live' art-science experiments, focused on the construction of an island of fat, to critically reflect upon our complex relationship with this material, what it is and what it might yet become.

The Classical Now
