COMMUNAL

The next edition of COMMUNAL will take place at Dorset Place, September 2022. Responding to the needs of Brighton’ creative communities we offered our project space as a resource for practitioners who might benefit from a free space to trial ideas, present work or hold events.

Begun in 2019 the COMMUNAL Dialogues programme uses online and in person gallery space as a site for collaboration, activity, and experimentation. The programme is an ongoing process of sharing resources and networks aimed at building a more sustainable creative ecology in Brighton and a model for supporting our community over the long term. Each edition of COMMUNAL centres on a programme of activity at Brighton CCA underpinned with online materials and documentation on our website.
