Amelia’s Magazine has already secured places for some of the painting workshops (thankfully all skills levels are welcome), but there will also be plenty of art on display at the East London festival.
The art has been curated by Antria Pelekanou and Zia Fernandez, and we can expect artist from all over the world presenting work in a range of mediums, including painting, sculpture, audio and video. The exhibition takes place at East London’s Rag Factory, just off Brick Lane. The public can also take part is a series of workshops, or listen to talks – all free of charge in the spirit of encouraging participation and discussion.
