Jesse Darling visited the studio in January. We begun by having a discussion about the hierarchies in the studio, the power dynamics of higher education and the complexities of neo-liberal art spaces. Jesse shared their experiences of finishing university, and trying to establishing themselves as an artist. A particular emphasis from Jesse that bled into the discussion of the Associates work was self-organising and the co-opting of spaces provided by institutions for radical means and a variety of voices. The visit was also the first time in which all the associates present showed work. Adeeb Ashfaq
