Post-Grad Community's Subcultures Interest Group (SIG) aims to continually pose the questions ‘What are subcultures?’, ‘What are their functions and meaning both historically and contemporarily’? and ‘How do subcultural properties survive and thrive’? They seek to gain greater knowledge and understanding of these socio-historical networks of resistance, grandeur and taste.
Members of the Subcultures Interest Group are producing a music press style newspaper under the theme of Music>Community>Aesthetics. They'll be considering angles as fashion and style, music, graphics, design, and visual communication.
They're calling for 500-1000 word submissions to the newspaper, ideally surrounding the topic of thinking about subcultures in different or novel ways.
First draft deadline: 29th April, 2022
Submissions and enquiries can be emailed to Kevin Quinn via k.quinn@fashion.arts.ac.uk.

Post-Grad Interest Groups
UAL’s Post-Grad Community supports a growing number of issue-specific, cross-disciplinary interest groups led by postgraduate students and academics.
These groups connect creatives with shared research/practice interests across different specialisms and subject areas.
PhD students have launched interest groups in the past to coincide with exhibitions and symposiums that they have organised under the same theme. Students have also used Interest Groups as a working group towards research or a standalone event or series.
Hear from the initiators of three thriving PhD student-led interest groups to understand how these originated and how the group has fuelled their research.
