Spiral Sanctuary Walk Workshop with the Art of the Magic Lantern
April 9 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Join us 9th April, 5-7pm at Clockhouse Community Centre
Join inspiral artists and the art of Magic Lantern, Frog Morris and Nicole Mollett for an evening of archival and imaginal exploration among the surroundings of Woolwich Old Dockyards to meet unusual and unexpected figures and images appearing from the walls and facades. Together we explore the hidden histories of Greenwich, extraordinary stories buried in the archive – individuals and communities seeking refuge and sanctuary. As we look across at the Tate & Lyle factory we hear tell, the strange convoluted histories of sugar/cane and spice. This workshop is free but booking recommended.
Woolwich Old Docks – Spiral Sanctuary Walk will be performed for general public on 16 May – Event free but booking essential – see ticketing here:
