people and places
Habitus, in sociology, is the way that people perceive and respond to the social world they inhabit, by way of their personal habits, skills, and disposition of character. In Sociologist Pierre Bourdieu’s words: the habitus is shaped by structural position and generates action, thus when people act and demonstrate agency, they simultaneously reflect and reproduce social structure.
The exhibition, ‘People and Places’ is a candid portrait of 15 emerging creative practitioners in London, 2024. Composed of individuals of diverse habitus, the one thing the international cohort shares is the momentum and determination to create. The new generation of practitioners are inquisitive, thoughtful and resourceful with the tools they have at hand, spanning several disciplines and mediums. Through their shared love of design, these individuals offer an insight into challenges within their habitus. Visitors are invited to explore a series of artefacts that respond to these issues in unconventional ways.
For People and Places I designed and built the website, created content for social media and helped with graphic design and curation for the lead up to the exhibition.
People and Places originally ran from 17th - 18th May 2024 at Yorkton Workshops, but has recently been annouced to open again for 6 weeks at the Hypha HQ in Euston from 28th November to 16 January.
