About
Londoners go through two million single-use plastic water bottles a day, one of the highest rates of bottled water consumption in the country. Some of these plastics don’t get recycled. They end up in our waterways. Is there something that we can do about it? How does this affect us and nature?
For HF ArtsFest 2019, a panel of artists from Re:Centre, Story Of Books and The Point magazine will be sharing their discoveries on the water subject via a series of talks and creative workshop on 8 June 2019.
Re:Centre’s 10 artists in residence will open their Art Studio for you to see their work in progress around the river theme. You will be able to chat with them and learn more about their artistic process.
At this event, Story Of Books will be launched as the imprint of GLUE Studio with After The Rain as it debut publication.
