If you are a creative in the area and interested in songwriting and how this works within the music industry, this is for you. This event also celebrates International Women’s Day and international collaboration. 

Perennial Processes features three multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriters — Charlotte Hatherley, Ruth Mac and Enid. The exhibition highlights the cyclical nature of songwriting craft and creative processes, exploring how they can shape sonic and visual composition in the realm of popular music.

The Perennial Processes Exhibition is a collaboration between Not Clean Creative, Forward 4 Wiz Trust and West End Centre with a programme of performances and workshops through March 2026.
