Event Information
Description
This drop-in drawing-on-textiles workshop will travel through multiple locations and result in a collaboratively created wall-hanging. Led by Neringa Dastoor, it includes visiting guest talks at each location. For all ages. Free.
When we talk about our future we talk of exactly how we would like it, carefully planned. Except our opinions are often built on society’s expectations. It’s not what we really want in the life well lived. And the stories we tell about the past are never like that. We remember special moments randomly or instinctively. What brings us together is the geographical location which thousands of years ago was wild ground. Today the same location is transformed by time and architecture built by us.
The wall-hanging contents will be generated throughout June as if hacking the old landscape and revealing the unseen – letterforms, structures and abstract mark-making inspired by your memories of building shapes lived in, atmosphere of places travelled …
Materials provided: homemade oak ink, brushes and marker pens, on mixed remnants of textiles.

Letters & Markers is part of the London Festival of Architecture 2017
The London Festival of Architecture was founded in 2004, and is now firmly established as Europe’s biggest annual architecture festival. The London Festival of Architecture 2017 will feature events across the capital from 1-30 June, and this year will explore the theme ‘memory’. The London Festival of Architecture celebrates London as a global hub of architectural experimentation, practice and debate, provoking questions about the contemporary and future life of the city, and promoting positive change to its public realm. The London-wide programme is delivered by a diverse mix of architecture and design practices and practitioners, cultural and academic institutions, artists and many others. London Festival of Architecture runs from 1 – 30 June.
