The Old School Room has been a place of learning, meeting and gathering for over 160 years and this project brings together artists Rebecca Strain and Simon Lee Dicker in a new collaboration which responds to its social history, the building itself and the people associated with it. After the building’s short life as a school, it became a space for rural, social activities such as discos, whist drives, jumble sales and theatrical performances and it is based on this amalgamation of the celebrations, get togethers, parties, socials and other events that the artists create a new language inspired by the trace of what once was.
