pin:point Collective is a collaboration between artists Laura Maragoudaki and Taryn Edmonds who came together to share skills and ideas based on a common belief in creativity as a platform for learning and collective expression.
Our current practice explores interactive methods such as video, photography, animation, live art, installation and web-based techniques to investigate themes such as communication, urban space, community and youth identity.
Participation is a core element of our projects, and we are interested in developing collaborations with audiences, communities and other artists, as well as designing projects that invite audience contribution
We are committed to working within the community and we tailor our approach to respond to the needs of those we work with, enabling and supporting participants to voice their ideas and creatively express themselves, whilst developing technical skills and strengthening communication. pin:point Collective works with a range of age groups from early years to teenagers and adults, developing projects through sessional workshops as well as longer term residencies.
We have worked in partnership with a wide range of organizations such as: Newcastle City Council, Tyne & Wear Museums, Tyneside Cinema, Creative Partnerships, Gallery Glue, Newcastle University, Sunderland University, Play & Youth Services, Millin Centre, Equal Arts, Newcastle Community Green Festival, Sightlines, the FATHoM Project, darts (Doncaster Arts), Bridge+Tunnel Productions, Queens Hall Arts, Nunsmoor Playcentre, media19, Northern Film & Media, and North East Refugee Service.
