People and Place (PaP)

PaP is an artists’ peer network led by artist Laura Eldret, in partnership with MTP (More Than Ponies), and supported by ‘a space’ arts.

People + Place ( PaP) is a forum for artists exploring ideas and modes of contemporary art-making that exist at the intersection of people and place, operating in the Southampton / New Forest area. It is a framework to test and share ideas that inform participating artists’ practices. #peopleandplacemail

During the Covid 19 crisis alongside online meet-ups PaP have established People + Place (mail) as an alternative mode of discussion and communication. Sharing distinct individual experiences, whilst exploring and perpetuating IRL aspects of this period of isolation and distancing. Being an artist is how one lives, making is a way of thinking and processing the current crisis.
