Throes of Grief is an artist led collective research initiative exploring both the presence and themes of Grief in Contemporary art practice.

Founded by Annabel Pettigrew in 2020, following an Open Call and a round of initial in-depth conversations with applicants, a group of eight artists were selected to take part as participants.

Participants currently meet online for discussion, presentation of work, peer critique and workshops. In doing so contribute to collaborative research and critical development of practice. 

Participants are encouraged to engage with the presence of Grief within work and practice, and examine any conceptual themes to further the critical underpinning or development of the work we make. 

2021 sees monthly participant artist-led sessions delivered to the core group, with plans to expand in the future.
