It was Holloway Arts Festival (organised by Rowan Arts) last week, I volunteered at the Mayton Street festival (craft workshops, performances etc), the festival made a space for neighbours and the local community to get to know each other and it was fun, admittedly my knitting skills didn’t develop any further. It was great to see the street being reclaimed by the residents and local community. How refreshing it would be if roads were closed and used in this way more often and we could think of them other than as just thoroughfares.
Visited I know a place exhibition at Flowers (Kingsland Road) earlier this week. Definitely worth a visit I was drawn to the title of the exhibition, unusually the exhibited works and title of the exhibition complimented each other. What seemed to bring them together as well as a strong feeling of the familiar or unfamiliar was a sense of wonder. I wanted to climb into one of Jane Edden’s Ideal homes and go to sleep.
