Into the Wild is an alternative arts education programme that offers a year of mentoring, opportunity and practical advice for emerging artists.
Into the Wild is run by Chisenhale Studios at Chisenhale Art Place in East London. It was initiated by the Studio Artists, as a programme to support the next generation. Chisenhale Studio Artists continue to be involved in the programme through leading workshops, talks, crits and mentoring sessions. Since 2015 Into the Wild has been financially supported by Arts Council England.
As the 2020 Into the Wild programme was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic a final exhibition wasn’t possible. Instead, the cohort developed a ‘physical chain-letter of sorts’, as a creative project and way of staying in touch.
Out of this process emerged the ‘Wild Letters’ publication, which traces the attempt to make work ‘collaboratively in solitude; of finding each other in the disorganised, unplanned and… wild.’ Wild Letters was collectively edited by the cohort with Esther McManus, the 2020 Artist Interpreter for the Into the Wild programme. Esther brought together the materials and designed and produced the final publication. Alongside the digital versions, the publication was risograph printed as a very limited edition and distributed to the cohort and to all those who have contributed to and supported the programme over the past year.
This publication was produced as a very limited edition risograph print and is also available to download for free at:
