Overview

Collectives- stated as a 'cooperative enterprise' by the Oxford English Dictionary have become a standard practice within cultural organisations as a method to engage emerging and young creative practice. Come with us on a journey as we venture into this world of art production commencing with a trip to meet Assemblage Collective currently in residence at the Foundling Museum.

Assemblage Collective is an interdisciplinary network of young creatives aged 18-30 founded in May 2020. The Collective aims to build creative communities beyond the bounds of formal education and to provide pressure-free environments where creativity can flourish through a range of workshops and events. Assemblage is currently in residence at the Foundling Museum, which tells the story of the UK’s first children’s charity and its first public art gallery.

Students will gain a first hand insight into Assemblage Collective; opportunities to get involved as well as the other programmes at the Foundling Museum.

This will be followed with an inspiring trip around the collection before commencing on a monoprinting workshop to unpack your findings visually.

We will wrap up the session with questions and connections.

Looking forward to welcoming you to the Foundling Museum and to this exclusive insight into the work of Tascha von Uexkull the founder of the collective.

Tascha von Uexkull established Assemblage Collective in 2020 with a mission to inspire creativity and foster meaningful connections among likeminded young adults. A papercraft artist, Tascha specialises in collage and artists’ books, with over a decade of experience in workshop facilitation. She has led workshops in diverse settings, including museums, art festivals, schools and food halls.

Launching in 2025 Arts SU is pleased to announce our 'Connection and Collaboration' strand built to improve networks, creative connections and communities of practice. We are excited to commence building an informal network of partners platforming the use of collectivity as a method of creative development and production.
