Roots of Practice
- The work reflects London, its global communities and has synergy with the Caribbean, Asia, the Arab world, Australasia and Africa.
- Projects merge process and product through participation.
- Keith Khan Associates seeks to support young artists and producers who are leading with new models of cultural production.
- Work is focused on spaces and practices that young people can own and relate to:
In a recent Mori poll young people defined Museums as “dry and boring”, Theatre as “not for me” and had limited interest in Art, but “would like to work with artists”. However, once a month, the under 24’s visit the cinema (80%), night clubs (64%) and live music events (59%) and are inspired by fashion and design.
