Public Powers
About the project
Public Powers sparks consciousness around the spaces we move through, unearthing who they are made for and all the ways we can shape their future. Together they have created ‘Sonic Sculptures’ using dialogue and a highly produced listening environment to plant seeds of inspiration for reflection and debate.
Community Convenings
Artists and researcher, Nate Agbetu and Chetna Sharma invite you to join them to listen to their ‘Sonic Sculpture’ installations. The listening sessions will be paired with a chance to discuss the themes, exchange ideas for claiming public power and food to fuel the thoughts. Wear your favourite socks, no shoes in the installation.
Dates:
Saturday 23rd March from 1pm - 3pm
Saturday 30th March: 6pm - 8pm
Email Nate to book. Please share any access or dietry needs.
Contemporary Sites of Heritage: Mapping Workshop
We all know one unforgettable part of East London that should be there forever - where’s yours?
In this workshop we’ll be using maps of Hackney, Newham, Tower Hamlets & Waltham Forest to highlight spaces across the east end that deserve to be preserved forever. From the markets to the after school hang out spots, we want to illustrate the spaces of gathering and exchanging that are important to communities in our city. Wear your favourite socks, no shoes in the installation.
Date:
Saturday 30th March from 1pm - 3pm
Email Nate to book. Please share any access or dietry needs.
