studionAme is an artists studio organisation based in Leicester with links in London.
Founded in 2016 by artists Yuka Namekawa and Steven Allbutt.
It is now and has always been the role of the artist to make others think, to bring into being new ideas and ways of thinking that people can share and thus organise and co-operate around.
It is this cognitive revolution that separates us from almost all other creatures, and It is therefore the responsibility of the artist to make sure that those new forms and ways of shared thinking are to the benefit of the whole community and not just the privileged few.
Now more than ever, the new economies require creative thinkers who are able to adapt and move quickly, generating new ideas and value. The more we can share the processes that lie behind such creativity the more the whole of our society will benefit, culturally, spiritually and economically.
Keep it creative!
