About Mongrel

Mongrel is an internationally recognised artists group specialising in digital media. We are well known for our pioneering arts projects, including the first on-line commission from the Tate Gallery London and work in the permanent collections of the Pompidou Centre Paris and the Centre for Media Arts in Karlsruhe (ZKM).

Combined with this we usually work with marginalised peoples who are on low incomes, socially excluded and cultural minorities. We do this by helping people to do things for themselves, creating social software and digital arts based projects that we then promote to a state of high visibility through our international network of arts connections. The groups gain a visible voice, self reliance, self confidence and informal training allowing them to get a foot hold into mainstream training, education, culture and the economic life most of us take for granted.

Mongrel is maintained by Richard Wright, Matsuko Yokokoji, and Harwood who work out of Southend-on-Sea at the MediaShed.
