The 2017 Postcards show “I am London”

Post card Show:

Learners at WMC were invited to submit a postcard on the theme of “I am London”.

There were no restrictions on media or material so it could be photograph, a print, a drawing, a painting, a piece of textiles, or ceramics or glass, or jewellery displayed on a postcard, or creative writing, or a bit of graphic design or illustration……..

That says “I Am London”

Along as it is A6 in size it wasbe included! (105mm x 148mm)

The entries reflect our diverse range of learner’s experiences as long-term Londoners or as a recent residents. They  consider what it’s like in their bit of London and also as a tourist, they address:  What are the positives and negatives of this city? What is it like as a city to learn in?

The Ruskin Gallery is located at the Working Men's College in Camden. Ruskin Gallery is a contemporary gallery located in the historic building of Working Men’s College in Camden. In addition to providing students the opportunity to show at a professional level, the exhibition programme at Ruskin Gallery involves inviting external artists for site specific projects. The Ruskin Gallery is run by curator Esther Windsor, who is a curator, artist and writer living and working in London. Working Men’s College (WMC), the oldest surviving adult education institute in Europe, was founded in 1854 and was associated with the Cooperative Movement and the Christian Socialists, stemming, from the same tradition that led later to the Worker’s Educational Association. The Working Women’s College, founded 10 years later in 1864, finally merged with WMC in 1967. Early supporters of both have included F D Maurice, John Stuart Mill, Tom Hughes, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, John Ruskin, Ford Maddox Brown, Walter de la Mare and Octavia Hill. Originally based in Red Lion Street, we have been in this listed building in Camden Town since 1905. We have continued to develop the tradition of liberal education and today the College serves the whole community, with women, unemployed and refugee students forming the majority of the student body. We have grown rapidly in recent years but are still small enough to know all our students and to respond to their individual needs. WMC was designated as a Specialist Designated Institution (SDI) under the 1992 Further Education Act.
