Our Director Simon Morrissey is presenting at PARADOX European Fine Art Forum 2026 at the National College of Art & Design Dublin this week.

The first in-person Paradox conference since 2019, the theme of CCC: Connecting + Collaborating + Co-Creating brings together artists, educators, and researchers from across Europe for two dynamic days of talks, workshops, and collective inquiry in Dublin to reflect on the vital role of art and Fine Art education in civic life, critical thinking, and the shaping of democratic and sustainable futures in an increasingly complex world.

Simon is presenting a case study with exploring AFTERMATH, the Foreground project that brought new research by Sophie and their colleague into 2 concurrent public exhibitions in Bristol in 2024. They are discussing the rich ways in which the community of practice formed with students to realise the project developed experiential learning for undergraduates, created employment opportunities for graduates, and explored how art schools can collaborate with others to directly produce culture in their communities through knowledge exchange.

Fantastic evening to launch new film The Wrong Thing as his final part of our long term commission Science Fictions co-commissioned with . Thanks to The Science Museum for hosting a great event and to all the lovely people who came along.

Image of the often hilarious post screening Q&A between Bedwyr, film-making collaborators and .raymond and Science Museum’s new Head of Collections under the watchful eye of gigantic IMAX Bedwyr.

Delighted to announce that this Friday 23rd January will be the premiere of The Wrong Thing by at 6.30pm Imax Theatre, London. All are invited!

This significant new film was made as part of Bedwyr’s long-term project Science Fictions, co-commissioned by The Science Museum and Foreground in response to the Science Museum Group Collection moving from London to its new home at the Science and Innovation Park, Wiltshire.

The film captures the overwhelming experience of encountering this vast collection whilst imagining the invisible histories of the lives intertwined with the artefacts (through the medium of a grumpy policeman with a lifelong tendency to say The Wrong Thing).

If you’d like to join us for the premiere of the film you need to RSVP using the link at the top of our Linktree in the bio.

Invite is, however, completely open, so please feel free to bring loved ones, colleagues and friends. You can sign up multiple people in a group with one RSVP.

Date: Friday 23 January 2026
Time: Doors open at 18.30
Location: Science Museum Wellcome Wolfson Building, 165 Queen’s Gate, South Kensington, London SW7 5HD

Following the screening, Bedwyr Williams will be in-conversation with .raymond and and there will be an audience Q&A. Drinks and canapés will be served.

Please come and join us in London on Friday to celebrate the premiere of Bedwyr’s brilliant new film.
