Common Thread

RESOLVE Collective & Science Gallery London Young Leaders

Reflect, connect, share.

Common Thread functions as a space for reflection, discussion and community activity, and is developed in collaboration with the Science Gallery London Young Leaders.

The space explores how anxiety is perceived across cultures, languages and ages through weaving together a tapestry of stories, memories and experiences. Leave your trace by contributing to a collective weaving process that echoes the plasticity of the brain as it is shaped and reshaped over time by its environment.

Spend some time here: weave, relax, and join neuroscientists, money experts, poets, craftspeople, exercise groups, and a community forum to explore how we live with anxiety.

The Common Thread events taking place in the space will be hosted by the Young Leaders. Details will be publicised soon on our Events page.

About the contributor(s)

RESOLVE Collective

RESOLVE is an interdisciplinary design collective that combines architecture, engineering, technology and art to address social challenges. Collaboration and co-production is a critical part of their ethos. An integral part of this is working with youth and under-represented groups in society and engaging them in the design process.

For RESOLVE, ‘design’ encompasses both physical and systemic intervention. They look at innovative ways of working with communities as ‘stakeholders’ in the short and long-term management of projects. In this way, design carries more than aesthetic value; it is also a mechanism for socio-economic change.

Science Gallery London Young Leaders

The Young Leaders are the Gallery's youth ambassadors, advisors and creators. This group, made up of 15-25 year olds who live, work or study in the boroughs of Southwark and Lambeth, represents the incredible talent and diversity of London. They are passionate about bringing new voices to the fore, programming their own events at the gallery. Find out more about the 2018-19 Young Leaders who collaborated with RESOLVE here.
