Palace of Culture was a week of interactive workshops, performances and collaborative sessions commissioned by The Exchange and Tate St Ives in 2017. A team of artists worked with members of the public to reflect on ideas of utopia and dystopia and the role of artists in times of social upheaval. Over six days, members of the public were invited to collaborative sessions with costume designers, choreographers, film-makers, sound artists and poets - culminating in an exhibition, film screening and night of live performances.
