Centre for Art and Ecology

The Centre for Art and Ecology consolidates Goldsmiths’ strengths in artistic and interdisciplinary research, fostering innovative approaches and strategies to ecological issues in dialogue with decolonial, eco-feminist, queer and crip studies, and nurtures an international network of researchers and partner organisations to produce world-leading research.

The Feminist Duration Reading Group

The Feminist Duration Reading Group was set up at Goldsmiths in 2015 to explore under-represented feminisms and regularly offers an intersectional, intergenerational programme of events.

Drawing Research

Staff members of the Art Department are working in collaboration with the Computing Department towards a collaborative space and hub focused on drawing in the form of workshops, symposia, seminars, human/technology partnerships.

Choreographic

Through and across a broad range of practices and discourses, contemporary art’s engagement with the choreographic has afforded a rich re-assessment of the ways bodies behave to each other and their surroundings and contexts, or the ways in which artistic forms behave in and over time, and of the transmission formats enabled by embodied forms of knowledge production.  The Choreographic Research Initiative explores how these openings play out in artistic practice, what novel forms of co-production they allow for, and how these can be mobilised within an emancipatory pedagogy.  

Religion and Art

Religion & Art is a CHASE funded research initiative by Nina Danino, Art Department, Goldsmiths University of London and CHASE partner Department of Literature, Film and Theatre Studies (LIFTS) University of Essex represented by Professor Jeffrey Geiger and with Mark Dean, Arts Chaplaincy Projects in a series of public cultural and critical events in different exploratory formats and events that set out to create interdisciplinary encounters between religion and art from a generative position and to create a field of research and further enquiry in art practice.
