[C] INTERVIEW FEATURE

(selected residents only)
A conversational Q&A, filmed by us where you discuss your creative process, challenges, and insights. This will give the Riónce audience an inside look at your work and journey.

Maintain the cleanliness of the studio/ shared spaces and be responsible for any damages during your use.

on a warm summer evening in 2026, the riónce ripple fund gala will bring everything together; this is how we will celebrate, showcase, and close the chapter.

your cohort will design and curate the entire experience; from the layout to the mood to the message. supported by the riónce team, you’ll turn the space into something bold, moving, and truly memorable in every way.

the gala will run for one night only; a private gathering at one of our southeast london venues. part private viewing, part celebration, part proof of what happens when visionaries are given the space to think, say, and do.

in a time that feels ultra connected but deeply disconnected, this night will be very real. in real life, celebrating real people and real work.
expect significant names in the room, and an atmosphere that can’t be duplicated online.

after this, the exhibition will run across several days; the wider public will come through, feel what’s been made, and witness the riónce ripple effect for themselves.

this will be your final mark before the next phase of your plan (a) begins; a proper send off, and a reminder of what you’re capable of.
