What is Peckham Space?

Welcome to Peckham Space, an arts organisation that produces new artwork in response to and with the people who live in Peckham, London SE15.

 

Peckham Space is a partnership between Camberwell College of Art, University of the Arts London and Southwark Council. The opening of our new building in the summer of 2010 will marks another chapter in our artistic programme that launched in June 2008.

 

Over the past 18 months Peckham Space has delivered five commissions that are showcased on this website via images, podcasts and video. Over the coming 18 months we will be implementing our new commissioning policy that will produce contemporary artworks that are embedded and relevant to life in Peckham. We will do this by returning to work with already established community

partners as well as developing relationships with new ones. We will select artists with a proven track record of working in this field to produce new artworks made in partnership with our community partners. There will be three 10 week exhibitions per year that will showcase these commissions at our new state of the art venue on Peckham Square, London.

The over-arching aim of this programme is to open up new debates and dialogues addressing the production of art in urban social contexts. We are working hard to develop these new models of production and as such hope to engage you in an open ended conversation about contemporary art.
