Join for an evening exploring experimental project - 'Speculative ReMemory' which includes audio and visual work made as part of an engagement project at Alice Billing House in Stratford.

These cumulative creative contributions have emerged from a network of artists and local communities, and draws upon non-traditional methodologies, indigenous practices of storytelling and the collation of stories to create a body of work that utilises experimental formats of archival and artistic outcomes. Rooted in feminist and anti-colonial epistemologies, the intention has been to unearth the rhizomatic connective tissues between past, present and future.

Expect excerpts from the digital archive, physical representations and a chance to meet artists involved in the project!

📍Where: Grow Hackney, 98c Wallis Road Main Yard London E9 5LN
📍When: Tuesday, January 28 · 6 - 11:30pm
⭐FREE! Book via Grown Hackney or visit their Eventbrite page.

The archive project is led by artist and programme facilitator, Sandra Falase, part of an engagement programme run by Grow Studios at Alice Billing House in Stratford, supported by the Creative Land Trust and Heritage Lottery Fund.
