Get global with Global Family!
Don’t miss the unique chance to get involved with Global Family, a fun interactive art show which runs for one month only in July. This exhibition looks at families, either our own or in the broader sense, discovering what connects people with each other. From the first day on the 7th July, to the musical, theatrical Grande Finale on the 29th, the aim is to have a unique exhibition created by anyone who comes to it, with its content changing throughout the month.
According to Rosie Kachere, festival co-ordinator: “The exhibition is going to be really exciting as no-one quite knows what is going to happen! As we are inviting visitors’ to take part, it will develop organically over the course of the month. It’s going to be really fascinating to see how different it is by the time of the Grand Finale”.
Along with the exhibition, there will be workshops every Saturday where people of all ages and ability can try out acoustic drumming, biscuit decorating, painting animals, clay modelling, creating a sound and image montage and learning about special effects with a make-up artist.
Saturday 29th will be a mini-festival of music and dance to celebrate how the exhibition has changed due to visitors' contributions throughout the month. This event will run from 12 noon-6pm
Both the exhibition and the workshops are free of charge and will take place at Oxford House, Derbyshire St, E2 6HG (020 7739 9001). Oxford House is open from 7-29th July, 9am-10pm (Mon-Fri); 10am-6pm (Sat). Closed Sunday.
This exhibition is hosted by members of SGI-UK, a Buddhist organisation for the promotion of culture, education and peace. www.sgi-uk.org
It is the second art exhibition that the SGI-UK has organised at Oxford House.
Opening evening on the 6th July 6.30-8.30pm
