Kult is a banner produced by the Test Space team in response to a commission for the exhibition/symposium Are the Stones Standing Still, held at Staffordshire Street Gallery in Peckham in August 2024.

Curator Dinosaur Kilby (Prayer Room, Cheap Cheap) gathered 5 art collectives from across the UK (Prayer Room in Birmingham, Test Space from Bristol, PINK in Stockport, Studio Cybi from North Wales and The Field in Derbyshire) to ask: what is important for artists now?

Each collective assembled a banner which was raised as a makeshift tent for collective practice to shelter under, featuring an events programme of talks, readings and performance.

Kult features our signature Test Space orange colour as a swathe of hi-vis ripstop fabric attached to a found stage curtain.
