Largactyl walk leaders take the public on an afternoon tour around the Structure and Clarity display looking at a range of modern and contemporary artworks. The tour includes a selection of artworks around the theme of light, colour and mood, highlighting the artist’s histories and politics. This interactive tour includes the opportunity for the audience to express their views and take part in a creative activity.
SlamAdArt: An installation using tents
Why tents?
Shelter… resilience… fragility… displacement… support…
We are a group of creative individuals, and artists, just like you who happen to have suffered issues of addiction at some point in their lives.
SlamAdArt installation has been made possible with support from the Maudsley charity.
South East London Arts Network (SELAN) – Patchwork or Doodle the View Workshop
Draw the amazing view from the East Room, write a poem or create your own idea onto acetate. Your creation is then added to a Georgian window looking out to St Pauls Cathedral.
