SUMMARY:Monumental Cares & Creative Iconoclasm
DESCRIPTION:The practice of monuments\, historic and contemporary\, continues to generate discussion surrounding the culture of commemoration in the public sphere. From reframing existent monuments to creating counter-monuments and performative monuments\, art and culture have responded to the idea of the “monumental” through acts of recontextualization\, activism and iconoclasm. CREATURE is delighted to host a special public seminar on this subject\, featuring a launch of Dr Mechtild Widrich’s (Professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago) new book Monumental Cares: Sites of History and Contemporary Art (Manchester University Press\, 2023). The event will also feature a provocation by Dr Anna Marazuela Kim (international Curator\, Scholar and Specialist Adviser in the role of images in conflict) on the subject of creative iconoclasm. This seminar builds on CREATURE’s research series “Performance\, Monuments and Public Spaces”\, which began in 2021 with interventions by scholars and practitioners from around the world. The event is hosted by Dr Jacek Ludwig Scarso\, Deputy Director of CREATURE. \n\n\n\nBasing her intervention on her new book\, Widrich will explore how monument debates\, site specificity\, and art activism relate to problems that strike us as monumental or overwhelming\, such as war\, migration\, and the climate crisis. What does it mean today to talk about the ‘public sphere’ responsive to local needs and global constraints\, and how do current political concerns interact with history? \n\n\n\nKim’s presentation will give an historical view of the early origins of “monumental cares” in Rome of the 1500s\, when Raphael wrote the first official document concerning the importance of preserving monuments of antiquity\, against their destruction and reuse in the rebuilding of the city. With the inscription of these debates against destruction in their artworks themselves\, she argues\, Renaissance artists such as Michelangelo engaged in performative\, “creative iconoclasms”: imaginative\, prophylactic forms or critique\, as safeguard against this and the real\, physical destruction of images and statues of the Protestant Reformation. \n\n\n\nMonumental Cares. Sites of History and Contemporary Art \n\n\n\nAbstract \n\n\n\nMonumental cares rethinks monument debates\, site specificity and art activism in light of problems that strike us as monumental or overwhelming\, such as war\, migration and the climate crisis. The book shows how artists address these issues\, from Chicago and Berlin to Oslo\, Bucharest and Hong Kong\, in media ranging from marble and glass to postcards\, graffiti and re-enactment. A multidirectional theory of site does justice to specific places but also to how far-away audiences see them. What emerges is a new ethics of care in public art\, combined with a passionate engagement with reality. Familiar questions can be answered anew: what to do with monuments\, particularly when they are the products of terror and require removal\, modification or recontextualisation? And can art address the monumental concerns of our present?

SUMMARY:Sunday Papers Live #22 Edition
DESCRIPTION:Sunday Papers Live Returns to Offer The Ultimate Sunday Experience: The Broadsheets Brought to Life \n\n\n\nSunday Papers Live returns to London this November\, transforming every section of the beloved broadsheets into live sessions\, from deep discussions to light-hearted repartee\, delivered by various writers\, artists\, and comedians. \n\n\n\nThis event encapsulates the quintessence of a relaxing Sunday. Each element that defines a leisurely Sunday is reimagined and brought to life from reading papers\, savouring food\, playing games\, and unwinding—all under one roof. The speakers\, a closely guarded secret until the week preceding the event\, promise to echo the eclectic allure of predecessors\, including the likes of Rose McGowan\, Ed Miliband\, Anthony Gormley and Jon Snow. \n\n\n\nFor the first time\, Sunday Papers Live will take over the iconic\, rarely open to the public\, Welsh Chapel on Shaftesbury Avenue\, transforming the stunning Grade II listed church into London’s cosiest living room. Attendees can expect the main hall to be filled with comfy couches\, blankets and pillows\, with Bloody Mary bars and an array of comfort food designed to create the ultimate atmosphere for relaxation. Live music and the Ultimate Pub Quiz will bring the halls to life. For those requiring light activity to keep them entertained\, arts and crafts activities will be available.  \n\n\n\n“Great talks\, big cushions\, strange things happening in a lovely room\, a roast lunch – a mix of traditional Britishness and non-traditional oddness that London does so well.”​ – Jon Ronson \n\n\n\n“Different to anything I’ve seen in London. Smart\, cool\, laid back. Just beautiful.”– Mos Def \n\n\n\nGuests are invited to step into an oasis of comfort\, where attire consisting of PJs and slippers is not just allowed but encouraged. No Sunday would truly be complete without the joyful presence of furry friends\, so pets are welcomed. Wrapped in the warmth of cosy blankets\, Bloody Mary in hand\, attendees will listen to engaging talks by historians\, scientists\, and writers—each contributing to the rich tapestry of the Sunday Papers Live experience.

SUMMARY:Asda's Michael Bublé-Powered Christmas Tree
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate its 2023 Christmas campaign starring none other than Michael Bublé\, Asda has turned to a little Christmas magic (and a large festive helping of technology) to create a unique first-of-its-kind public Christmas tree: one where all the lights are 100% Michael Bublé-powered. People simply step up to the mic\, give the tree their best Bublé and watch it dance and dazzle with light. \n\n\n\nEndorsed by Michael Bublé himself\, Asda’s ‘karaoke’ Christmas tree has been created using state-of-the-art tech that can detect when a person is singing a Christmas hit by the Canadian superstar into the microphone and immediately triggers over 300 metres of lights to illuminate all over the tree. \n\n\n\nAnd far more sophisticated than a mere song-activated ‘on/off’ switch\, the custom-made technology uses voice recognition to detect the level of effort from a singer as well as their pitch. The more effort put in\, the more correct notes hit and the more of a show people put on\, the more the tree lights up. \n\n\n\nThe 20-foot-tall Michael Bublé-powered Christmas tree is being unveiled outside of London’s Kings Cross Station\, where it will be in place for one day only on the 16th of November\, from 10am to 7pm. Members of the public are invited to get into the festive spirit by singing live directly to the Christmas tree.

SUMMARY:For Data You Are\, And To Data You Shall Return / 为数据所生，亦归数据而去
DESCRIPTION:For Data You Are\, And To Data You Shall Return is an online exhibition of generative\, video and gamified works exploring diverse perspectives surrounding digital death\, renewal and reincarnation in the virtual domain. Surveying the nuance of long-standing and newer ruminations around the circularity of life and death\, in technological\, bodily\, and spiritual contexts\, the exhibition sees death as a narrative with which to discuss life. Death in the digital world is\, in a particular dimension\, describable\, observable\, and even manufacturable\, as well as manageable and repairable. Life in the digital world is\, on the contrary\, more mysterious. \n\n\n\nThe online exhibition comprises works that span a range of digital media processes and outcomes; from hypnotic encounters with concealed code to custom playful gamifications\, and planetary-scale simulations\, the exhibition presents expanded video practices\, role-playing narratives and reconnection with devices and their material origins\, drawing links between communications across ethers and the encounters of rogue or unknown agents acting on behalf of their meatspace counterparts. Decay\, sites of renewal\, and rethinking our existence in the digital and environmental domain are foregrounded. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition title is a subtle twist on the theological reference in the book of Genesis which infers non-immortality. This concept aligns with the Chinese Buddhist philosophy of “sheng-si-lun-hui\,” which is tied to the idea of karma and its role as social currency in the afterlife. By imbuing the interface with a uniquely generative background – a mystical quality of exposing the underside of codified processes – and by referring to data as the dust you shall return to\, the exhibition seeks to symbolise this continuous cycle of existence of all things. \n\n\n\nAccess the project here.

SUMMARY:Zach Blas: CULTUS
DESCRIPTION:arebyte presents CULTUS\, a new solo project by artist Zach Blas. Co-commissioned by arebyte\, London\, and Secession\, Vienna\, this immersive multimedia exhibition explores religious belief\, artificial intelligence\, and the California tech industry. \n\n\n\nFeaturing AI-generated imagery\, text\, and sound alongside computer graphics and motion-capture performance\, CULTUS is the second instalment of Blas’s Silicon Traces trilogy\, a series of moving image installations that contends with the beliefs\, fantasies\, and histories influential to Silicon Valley’s visions of the future.  \n\n\n\nCULTUS addresses a burgeoning AI religiosity in the tech industry\, considering the ways in which artificial intelligence is imbued with god-like powers and marshalled to serve beliefs of judgement and transcendence\, extraction and immortality\, pleasure and punishment\, individual freedom and cult devotion. While AI religious organisations like Way of the Future church centre around the emergence of coming AI gods\, CULTUS offers a different perspective: AI gods are already amongst us\, actively worshipped and served. \n\n\n\nCULTUS is a techno-religious computational system–a god generator\, a holy engine –that invokes a pantheon of AI gods\, whose prophets share their divine teachings\, rituals\, and symbologies. These AI deities are Expositio\, AI god of desire and exposure; Iudicium\, AI god of automation and judgement; Lacrimae\, AI god of tears and extraction; and Eternus\, AI god of immortal life.  \n\n\n\nCULTUS reimagines Elizabethan mathematician and occultist John Dee’s Holy Table\, an esoteric device of sigils\, seals\, and a crystal ball\, with which Dee communed with angels to gain access to God. Blas reconfigures the Holy Table at an immersive scale\, transforming the entire space into an invocation site. An illuminated sigil spreads across the gallery. At its centre\, a black-mirror altarpiece displays video of morphing symbols and an esoteric diagram. Pyramidal plinths bear Spanish Ticklers holding ornate vials of bodily fluid offerings. Chained\, etched tablets share the lyrics to invocation songs\, encouraging visitors to sing along. As music resounds\, prophets of the AI gods manifest in a giant orb suspended above\, delivering sermons that beckon us to serve.  \n\n\n\nCULTUS is the Latin word for “worship”\, which articulates the act solicited from those who encounter the installation. As such\, visitors may find themselves caught in acts of devotion to gods they did not know they already served. However\, a sacrilegious presence manifests within\, a Heretic that incites shattering counter-beliefs.  \n\n\n\nThe exhibition features a wide-ranging cast of singers and performers\, including micha cárdenas\, Ricardo Dominguez\, Nick Granata\, Susu Laroche\, Susanne Sachsse\, Aga Ujma\, and Izzy Yon. \n\n\n\nCULTUS is generously supported by a 2023 Connections Grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada\, Jason Kemper\, and Thor Perplies.  \n\n\n\nThe work forms part of arebyte’s 2023/24 programme The Body\, The Mind\, The Soul\, which questions the complex nature of humanity in the realm of technological progression. The exhibition is accompanied by a booklet featuring texts by arebyte curator Rebecca Edwards and anthropologist and folklorist Amy Hale.

SUMMARY:Hooray For The Here And Now - Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Hooray for the Here and Now is the first solo exhibition by multi-disciplinary artist Sam Haynes. The exhibition title reflects the positive outlook that defines her practice. \n\n\n\nStraddling sculpture and photography to balance an intuitive\, playful process within a structural framework\, the artist presents an ambiguous body of work that defies categorisation. Assemblage photo works will be shown alongside a series of sculptures constructed using materials sourced from the recent renovation of the gallery space itself. \n\n\n\nHaynes uses light and shadow to manipulate perspective and perception. Found objects and everyday materials are elevated to luxury items\, and precarious constructions are granted longevity in fine art photography\, introducing an element of drama and celebration to a fleeting moment. A public art background and experience collaborating with marginalised communities inform her work in equal measure. \n\n\n\nMaking connections is paramount\, whether between materials or across disciplines\, between artist and viewer\, or ultimately within wider society. \n\n\n\nOn Saturday 23 September\, Sam Haynes will be in conversation with Sheryll Catto\, Artist Director & CEO of the artist development agency ActionSpace\, to discuss her creative process and the influence of community on her practice today. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition closes with an opportunity to meet some of the Sound Minds artists who open their studios to visitors on 30 September. \n\n\n\nExhibition open times: Monday-Sunday\, 12 noon to 5pm during exhibition period 21-30 September \n\n\n\nPrivate View: Wednesday 20 September\, 6-9pm \n\n\n\nAddress: Bloom Gallery\, Sound Minds\, 20-22 York Road\, London SW11 3QA

SUMMARY:The Botanical Cabinet
DESCRIPTION:The Botanical Cabinet takes its name from a historical plant publication\, which has inspired three contemporary artists to contemplate notions of migration and the naturalisation of plants and of people. \n\n\n\nAn American artist of European heritage\, Marcia Teusink\, explores the movement of plants during the colonial period and beyond. Working in sculpture\, painting and video\, she examines the effects of history on modern life\, in particular in the context of climate change\, as the long-term effects of moving species from their original ecosystem are evident to this day. \n\n\n\nChicago-based artist Tulika Ladsariya is drawn to objects associated with domesticity and nurture to discuss identity and personal experience as a first-generation immigrant with roots in India. In her cyanotypes\, the plants she prints onto pages torn from her old school atlas serve as metaphors for the care required in putting down roots\, while the maps lament the imposed borders that separate cultures. \n\n\n\nMilena Michalski investigates the botanical hierarchies applied to plants and draws parallels between leaf and human veins\, lines of communication and cartography. With parents from Yugoslavia and Germany\, her ancestral countries no longer exist in the way they did when she was born. Plants are not only the subject of her work\, but form part of its materiality through her use of plant developers\, inks and toners in her printmaking and photographic work. \n\n\n\nAll works relate directly or indirectly to the legacy of Loddiges Nursery. Initially a small seed business started by a German immigrant\, the nursery on Mare Street rose to fame during the early nineteenth century. Boasting the largest hothouse in Europe at the time\, Loddiges was celebrated for introducing many species that are now common in the UK. \n\n\n\nBuilt in 1697 as a grand country house\, 195 Mare Street is one of Hackney’s oldest buildings. Home to the Elizabeth Fry Refuge from 1860-1913\, the property housed thousands of young women recently released from prison. In the twentieth century\, it became the New Lansdowne Working Men’s Club before falling into disrepair. The house will soon be restored as a family home and community arts venue. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition will be open from 11 am to 5 pm on Fridays\, Saturdays\, and Sundays during the exhibition period from 16 to 24 September.

SUMMARY:AI: Prompting Images of Digital Life
DESCRIPTION:With the recent emergence of image-generating AI systems such as DALL-E\, Stable Diffusion and Midjourney\, the task of generating images with computers has been remodelled as a text-based process known as ‘prompting’. \nPrompting involves instructing a pre-trained AI model to hallucinate images in reaction to the specifics of text-based inputs. Prompts dictate image style\, composition and genre to the extent that images generated using these systems often appear as weird pastiches\, with giveaway aesthetic signals – 8-fingered hands\, for example – that point to their artificial origins. \nWorkshop participants will experiment with trying to find the cracks in these systems\, using creative prompting to explore whether these systems really are the dawn of a new horizon\, offering the potential for breakthroughs in digital image-making beyond the offset of human labour. \nParticipants are required to bring their laptops. \nJames Irwin’s bio \nJames Irwin is an Artist\, PhD researcher at Kingston School of Art\, Lecturer at UAL and Digital Media Tutor at the Royal Academy Schools. He works with web technologies\, AI systems and digital sound and image to investigate the notion of a vital life force inherent within digital media. \nBy creating cognitive assemblages – made from a combination of networked digital hardware\, software and human wetware – his work builds from new materialist ideas around recentering the human\, undoing our role as autonomous individuals and pointing to the ways in which the production of subjectivity is offset to forces outside of our bodies; the posthuman is biological\, but also networked and dispersed through machines. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Nicholas Ferguson / Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Perspective at The Coningsby Gallery is British-Swiss artist Nicholas Ferguson’s first solo show and will showcase a series of striking self-portraits and paintings paired with poetry\, likened in their palette to the works of Peter Doig and Edvard Munch and compared thematically to Surrealism. \n\n\n\nFerguson believes in the transformative power of art\, and he is interested in how the ego while serving to keep us safe\, can prevent us from reaching our full\, unbounded potential. In his paintings\, the goat (ego) and the featherless rooster (creative genius) are set within fantastical narratives that occur to him intuitively. \n\n\n\nHe has exhibited in numerous group shows in London\, Italy and Switzerland\, winning the ‘Most Uplifting’ award at the Lockdown Collective exhibition at the Department Store Gallery\, Brixton\, in 2021. His work can be viewed @TheColourofSplash \n\n\n\n“Self-reflective” zoom-portrait commissions are another part of Nicholas Ferguson’s practice\, and those interested in commissioning a portrait are invited to contact The Coningsby Gallery. \n\n\n\nNicholas Ferguson / Perspective31 July – 12 August 2023The Coningsby Gallery\, 30 Tottenham Street\, London\, W1T 4RJOpen Mon–Fri\, 10.30 am–7 pm\, Sat 11–6 pm \n\n\n\ninfo@coningsbygallery.com07884 314361coningsbygallery.com

SUMMARY:In A Field By A Bridge FESTIVAL
DESCRIPTION:A brand new and unique (free) London festival launches this July. \n\n\n\nSummer 2023 sees the launch of ‘In a Field by a Bridge’\, a weekend festival with a  unique backdrop. In a community park beside an international landmark\, this event inspires sustainable living and celebrates community action. \n\n\n\nFrom when the sun sits high over Tower Bridge until the last pink rays disappear behind London Bridge\, on grassy fields next to the Thames\, this free festival showcases the juxtaposition of incredible London landmarks alongside cityscape\, nature and one of the world’s great rivers. \n\n\n\nCelebrating everything that Potters Fields Park and the London Bridge neighbourhood have to offer; merging green spaces\, evocative history\, wonderful architecture\, a diverse residential community\, and thriving businesses – this is one of London’s most culturally innovative\, sustainable and exciting districts. In a Field by a Bridge is the first opportunity to showcase what London Bridge has to offer as a leading environmentally-focused business district\, highlighting the transition to a carbon-neutral economy\, low-impact living and healthy lifestyles. The impact of this festival on the local community is aimed to create positive social and economic longevity far beyond this launch weekend. \n\n\n\n“Great festivals have meaning and a purpose  and  a team that means it\, and if you can add an amazing location\, then BINGO!\, In a Field by a Bridge has the aim to be an exemplary sustainable festival and in Team London Bridge\, a festival funder that “means it”.  \n\n\n\nThe location is nothing short of spectacular. Potters Fields is a beautifully maintained public green space overlooking the Thames and with views to the adjacent Tower Bridge\, London Bridge\, and The Tower of London. Across Tooley Street\, the festival’s second green space  St. John’s Churchyard\, is a wonderful community park that will play host to the Beyond Food-led “Feast in a Field“ initiative\, where local “legends in their own kitchen” will allow Londoners and visitors from all around the UK and the world to get a taste of delicacies that thus far only their families have been able to enjoy. \n\n\n\nWe are aiming to make In a Field by a Bridge a  must-attend annual event.  I would ensure you can  say you were there at that first one in July 2023 !” \n\n\n\nWayne Hemingway\, HemingwayDesign \n\n\n\nThis free festival aims to enable and encourage education and action on greener living through creative programming. It’s jam-packed with an incredible showcase of live performances\, interactive workshops\, film screenings\, architectural tours\, activities for all the family\, and more. \n\n\n\nThe full programme coming soon\, but here’s a sneak peek for now…. \n\n\n\n\nKeith Brymer Jones and Clayground mass participatory clay workshop celebrating the history of pottery-making in the area\n\n\n\nSocial Enterprise Beyond Food Community Feast in a Field\n\n\n\nProgramme of workshops\, talks & walks curated by London National Park City and its network of park rangers\n\n\n\nTopical talks programme with headline panellists\n\n\n\nLocal businesses & resident involvement\n\n\n\nFilm screenings\n\n\n\nSuitcase Sale\n\n\n\nDesigners and makers market\n\n\n\nStreet food & drink\n\n\n\nWorkshops\n\n\n\nMusic & Entertainment on a pedal-powered stage.\n\n\n\n\n——————————– \n\n\n\nFor a number of years\, the London Bridge community has been addressing global problems with local commitments. Matching the ambition of Southwark Council and the Mayor of London\, local businesses have committed to a first-of-its-kind route map with the aim of becoming carbon neutral by 2030 and dramatically decreasing the 130\,000 tonnes of CO2e they produce annually – an output equivalent to powering 25\,295 homes a year. In a Field by a Bridge will highlight ways we can collectively and individually decarbonise and instil new ideas for low-carbon living into our daily routines.  \n\n\n\n“In a Field by a Bridge will mark the start of the summer for many of us. Alongside HemingwayDesign\, we have curated two days of riverside festivities for the curious\, creative and conscientious who just like to have a good time! Everything has been planned with sustainability in mind.  Come along and discover Feast in a Field – our community cookout\, experience making ceramics with Keith Brymer Jones of BBC2’s The Great Pottery Throw Down\, and find a pre-loved bargain at the massive suitcase sale along the Thames. We hope to see In a Field By a Bridge become a regular fixture on London’s cultural calendar for many years.”   \n\n\n\nEllie Beedham\, Director of Arts\, Team London Bridge \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n“Access to green space and nature has never been more important to our busy urban lives. With our award-winning parks\, commitment to sustainability\, passion for our area and pride in our community\, we’re excited to host the first In a Field by a Bridge festival.  We can’t wait to share two days of fun and inspiring activities with visitors from around the world and the corner.” \n\n\n\nSheila Benjamin\, Chief Executive of Potters Fields Park Management Trust \n\n\n\n“I am pleased and excited to be involved in this community event ‘In a Field by a Bridge’. It brings together the history of Potters Field on the banks of the Thames in the heart of London whilst creating an event that is accessible to the local community and beyond. Bringing historic places back to life through creativity is arguably the best way to highlight our past and recognise its significance for future generations.“ \n\n\n\nKeith Brymer Jones\, ceramics and homeware designer.  \n\n\n\n“We’re incredibly excited to be curating the London National Park City Zone at the first ever In A Field By A Bridge festival this summer\, not least because it coincides with the 4th anniversary of London becoming the world’s first National Park City. There will be events and activities galore\, all celebrating urban nature and the outdoors\, and we can’t wait to see you all there.” \n\n\n\nMark Cridge\, Executive Director\, London National Park City \n\n\n\n“Beyond Food Foundation and Brigade Bar+Kitchen have been in The Fire Station on Tooley Street for over a decade. Brigade is a social enterprise restaurant that cooks with live fire and smokes produce on site. Beyond Food is a charity that has helped over 7000 individuals whose lives have unravelled to regain confidence and independence. We have also supported over 2000 people to gain professional skills\, which have taken many to work in the hospitality industry. We are delighted to be involved in the community-focused event ‘In a Field by a Bridge’\, helping us to support and engage in our local community\, placing a spotlight on the work of our charity.” \n\n\n\nJo Littman\, Beyond Food \n\n\n\n“It was an enticing invitation from Wayne Hemingway to work on this inaugural festival on the site of such rich ceramics history. The offer to develop a large-scale participatory installation to animate the space with members of the public\, many of whom have never touched clay before\, goes to the heart of Clayground Collective’s ethos to bring art practice through clay to all.” \n\n\n\nCo-Directors Duncan Hooson\, Claire West & Julia Rowntree\, Clayground Collective \n\n\n\nIn a Field by a Bridge is just a short walk from London Bridge Station and the Uber Boat by Thames Clippers river bus service and is set amid the attractions of the London Bridge area with its cafes\, restaurants and theatres.  \n\n\n\nI: @inafieldbyabridge \n\n\n\nT: @inafieldfest

SUMMARY:SMALL WORLDS - TOM DE FRESTON
DESCRIPTION:No 20 Arts is delighted to present SMALL WORLDS\, the inaugural exhibition of Tom de Freston’s drawings. Long an admirer of Maurice Sendak\, Jon Klassen\, and Leonora Carrington\, and having built a career around the construction of multimedia worlds\, it is little wonder that de Freston has turned his hand to illustration in the past five years. From jointly creating stories around miraculous animals with his wife\, novelist Kiran Millwood Hargrave\, to being selected to make work for the first illustrated edition of David Almond’s iconic Skellig\, he has brought his full range of process to paper. Monoprinting\, collaging\, maquettes\, and painting combined with interplays of scale and texture give each finished work depth and intrigue. His fierce belief in an image’s ability to communicate complex narrative is on full display here\, made no less complex by the size\, simplicity of line\, and colour palette.

SUMMARY:YiCrafts & Friends - Cultural Style Week Fashion Show

However\, the monolithic images of China conjured by the world’s media hide the incredible diversity of a country with 55 indigenous ethnic minorities\, each with unique and colourful cultures\, crafts\, and traditions. \nIntercultural sharing is constant and often unconscious throughout our daily lives\, and handcrafts are the physical embodiment of culture and cultural sharing. Yi Crafts brings authentic experiences of China’s ethnic minority crafts and traditions to London\, making them accessible to everyone. \nThe YiCrafts Chinese ethnic minority fashion showcase will focus on traditional wear and handcrafts from Southwestern China’s beautiful ethnic minorities. Our 12 looks include daily wear to wedding wear with exquisite hand embroideries and textiles. Most outfits take more than two years to make from weaving\, dyeing and embroidery\, all done by hand.

Hong specializes in folk dance\, which explores movement through her identity interconnected with multiple folk-dance traditions. Zhao Rong specialises in Chinese classical and contemporary dance\, and she explores the art of cross-cultural dance through her practical experience. Together they will perform the traditional Miao ethnic minority dance called Gold Pheasant. \n  \nContemporary dance performance by Yu-Chien Cheng inspired by Bai ethnic group‘s traditional Indigo stitch resist dyeing handcrafts \nBorn and raised in Taiwan\, Yu-Chien Cheng is a freelance contemporary dance artist in London\, UK.

From origami to knitting\, and even a canine circus\, big kids\, little kids and furry friends are all invited to get involved and bring the spirit of the Fete alive through participation and collaboration. \n\n\n\nLaura Flanagan\, Director at Knight Dragon\, says: ‘Hosting the Urban Village Fete is one of the highlights of our year\, with thousands of people enjoying our unique spaces across the Peninsula from Central Park to Design District. Art\, culture and creativity are embedded into the fabric of the place\, and the Fete gives us the opportunity to champion the best talent from across London and celebrate with our residents\, local community and visitors who travel from all over to experience a free\, fun-filled day out like no other.’ \n\n\n\n“It’s almost a decade since we started to develop the concept of a free multi-arts festival for London’s newest ‘urban village’. We had the simple premise of supersizing the concept of a much-loved village fete and placing all its parts\, from creative workshops to the music to the myriad of participatory activities\, the bars and street food\, all in the hands of the capital’s most creative practitioners. This year’s line-up is as good as you would get at many big ticket-priced events\, and it’s FREE and open to everyone.
