Whitworth Invents is a programme that was designed to inspire innovation, creativity and make art useful. We invited creative minds to participate in fortnightly challenges between February and May 2021. This programme ran during the second national lockdown and encouraged people all of backgrounds to participate, wherever they were.
Our winning Whitworth Inventors were chosen based on their innovation, imagination and interpretation of making art useful and will be displayed in a video installation in the gallery’s School of Creativity.
