dull moment in our residency studios. We will give you an exclusive look into what it’s like to be in residence at the world’s leading museum of art and design. We have a thriving and exciting programme of artists in residence here at the Museum, with at least two practitioners inhabiting our studios at any given time. Here we show the process of being an artist or designer in residence here at the V&A, with behind-the-scenes insights and stories from Residency Co-ordinator, Laura Carderera, and the artists themselves. </p> </div> <div class="minimize-controls"> <a href="#" class="read-more">Read more</a> <a href="#" class="read-less">Show less</a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div
