Building Narratives: Art as Home and Home as Art

Hosted by Graft Collective
29.01.26 — Doors from 7:30pm — Tickets required.

​

Graft Collective invites you into La Roche House for an intimate evening of conversation, listening, and making — exploring the idea of home as an artistic practice and art as a form of home. Set within a lived-in architectural space, the night centres on the domestic as a site of cultural production: where labour, care, creativity and exchange quietly unfold. Together with writers, artists, architects and spatial practitioners, we’ll reflect on how everyday routines, rooms, food and hosting shape creative work across writing, architecture, and art. Curated in response to 'Well, I Just Kind of Like It', edited by Wendy Erskine, this gathering brings multiple forms of making into dialogue — relaxed, conversational, and collective.

​

With contributions from:
Wendy Erskine, Nathan O’Donnell, Nick Dearden, Aoife Mulvenna, Jan Carson, plus culinary practices & more.

​

What to expect:
– Panel discussion with writers, artists & designers
– Reflections on home as a site of labour and production
– Writing, architecture, photography & food side-by-side
– Live culinary demonstration
– Time to listen, gather & share across literary and arts communities

​

Bring a beanbag, cushion or throw — a small piece of your own domestic world — to help make the space home. Chairs and alternative seating are available if needed.
