Are you an early-career artist looking to take your work to the next level? Understanding how to create a professional and personal online presence is essential, now more so than ever. Join artist and educator Hydar Dewachi in a workshop dedicated to disseminating your work online like a pro, through websites, mailing lists, and social media. The session will conclude with a Q&A where you can ask the presenter for advice on taking your own projects online. 

Come with: an idea for a project that you want to present online. 

Think about: for your practice, what does digital manifestation mean/look like? 

Workshop outcome: you’ll leave with a good understanding of why a digital presence is crucial for early-career artists, be inspired by the ways other artists include digital dissemination as part of their practice, and learn where to begin when wanting to digitally showcase your work and the process/journey. 

This workshop is part of the Arab British Centre’s Making Marks programme, in partnership with the British Council, which focuses on creative exchange between artists aged 18-30 in the UK and the Arab world.
