Platform Graduate Award

About

Platform is a showcase of the best new work from graduates of Sussex Coast College, Hastings, and the University of Brighton.

This year it includes photography, sculpture, moving image and painting by five young artists: Tasneem Arif, Godith Hawkins, Katie Needham, Oscar Yasamee, and Maddalena Zadra. The exhibition is curated by Flatland Projects.

The Platform Graduate Award is the annual regionwide initiative from Contemporary Visual Arts South East.

Flatland Projects, co-founded by Ben Urban and Billy Stanley, presents a programme of solo and group exhibitions based within a once-Victorian bath house now occupied by Source BMX, Hastings. With collaboration a primary focus for each project, the gallery will be used to showcase emerging contemporary artist practices, and to engage with wider conversations around re-thinking sustainable models for artist-led space.
