Nottingham-based artists Lisa Selby and Dudley were selected for one of three NMG Development Programme Collaborative Project Bursaries, in partnership with Artcore, aimed at pairs looking to work collaboratively to develop and deliver a project together.

Lisa and Dudley were in residence at Artcore in Derby from August – October, working together on a new series of work with a focus on changing public perceptions around addiction and incarceration, helping to connect people who are affected by these issues.

The artists chose to use this period to care for themselves through practice, to then help others to process, reflect and make – making trauma count in society. 

Following on from Dudley and Lisa’s exhibition Get the Dark Out, Dudley curated a session for Artcore’s Radical Reading Group, including text written by them and a selection that were presented in the exhibition. Download the full text booklet here.
