New artist in residence project at Heritage Collective Makerspace

Karen (Lucky) Lee is a contemporary artist, experience designer, and facilitator.  She creates multi-disciplinary social practice works and participatory experiences exploring place, identity, inequality, gender, class, humanness, social connection, mobility, and built and natural environments.

She likes creating playful opportunities to explore serious topics, generate sensory joy, kinaesthetic activation and emotive memory, and build connections to bridge difference and bring delight.

Her projects include Conversation Station, Sister Silencio’s Travelling Confessional, Manual Arts Collective, Mobility Stories, and BIKE-CURIOUS, a program working towards equal access to bike-riding and transport autonomy for girls and women.

Arts residency at The Heritage Collective

Karen will spend her residency developing her practice and a body of work entitled ‘Good Bones’, covering topics such as housing security, urban life, sense-of-home, aging, and the cost of living. Works explored may include paper and wire sculpture houses, a sound and sculpture installation, bread houses and cityscapes, maps, participatory works and video works. The project provides opportunities for the participation of the wider community including seniors.

Karen will be in the Makerspace on Thursdays and Fridays, during October- December 2024.

Karen will be developing new works on her research theme, as well as developing participatory workshops where public and residents will be able to engage with her making and baking experiments. 

You can join one of these workshops here:

Friday 29th November at 10am – Everyone Kneads a Home with Lucky Lee – The Heritage Collective

Karen will share the outcomes and works in progress during a series of Open studio days on Friday 13th and Saturday 14th December.
