Artists
Stream invites artists to work with us and to find new inspiration in the geographies, peoples and environments in which our projects are sited. We want to offer you a stimulating environment in which we can support the development of your practice.
We can offer you a sounding board for developing your ideas in a new context, support in developing the collaborative aspects of your work and support in promoting, exhibiting and distributing your work to new audiences.
Our programmes are curated to ensure multifaceted explorations of place, encompassing diverse approaches to participation and enabling dialogue between different artistic practices. We support new work across a broad range of practice. Recent projects have included intimate reflections on personal lives as well as performative interventions in the landscape.

What artists say about Stream
“Stream has given me so much space and freedom and totally get the process and what is required to reach a result from nothing.” Alinah Azadeh
““My proposal was slightly left field and Stream let me go with it- they had faith in it. Other places would have been a bit more paranoid – which means a lot of the time, projects with young people mean simply making little dramas about “the issues”……it’s exciting to do something different..” Erica Scourti

Recently we’ve worked with:
- Lottie Child,an artist interested in notions of risk and play, who created Accidental Holiday, a guide book and guided walk, focusing on public space and resources and proposing playful ways to live and thrive inspired by feral plant and animal life. She collaborated with local residents and children from Millennium Primary School.
-Kerry Morrison, an artist interested in addressing ecological issues via live art, mixed media and new technologies, created a live installation, 100 Cauliflowers, on the riverfront by the O2. Kerry collaborated with the Ecology Park, local residents and local primary and secondary schools.
-Alinah Azadeh, an artist using both high end technology and hands on engagement with materials, created an interactive website http://www.mother-mother.com , which explores our relationships to our mothers. She engaged in one to one conversations with mothers at the Robert Owen Early Years Centre setting up weaving workshops for small groups of women.
-Christian Nold, artist, teacher and cultural activist, uses bio-mapping tools and participatory methodologies to enable people to talk about their environment, locality and communal space. He created the Greenwich Emotion Map, an ordinance survey style printed map, with Greenwich residents who took walks across the Greenwich Peninsula with his bio-mapping devices.
-Erica Scourti, a digital media artist, interested in language and communication, created “moving poems”, with a group of teenagers in East Greenwich, using cameras, sound recording equipment and mobile 'phones. The film was screened at the Greenwich Odeon and distributed via Bluetooth.
