This exhibition brings together work by students on the MA Fine Art course at Central Saint Martins, developed through two overlapping strands: the Diagram Workshop (led by Dean Kenning) and the Animation Workshop (led by Nooshin Farhid).

The Diagram Workshop draws on the ‘Social Body Mind Mapping’ method, where diagramming becomes a mode of inquiry rather than representation. These works function as abstract machines, mapping relationships, tensions, and material conditions that shape each practice. In drawing out the often unspoken capacities, motivations, resources and organisations from which artworks arise, common concerns can be identified across the group.

Alongside this, the Animation Workshop features short works made through both analogue and digital techniques. Each piece emerges from a distinct conceptual position, reflecting different cultural, political, and material contexts. Here, the moving image becomes a field of construction, where time, rhythm, and image are used to assemble alternative narratives, speculative structures, and experimental forms.
Together, the exhibition offers a set of propositions: diagrams that disrupt coherence and animations that resist containment. What links these works is attention to process, to uncertainty, and to the tangled relation between intention and outcome. These are works made not to explain, but to ask.
