Bun the A13. Sound barrier, wall of speeding cars, wormhole to nowhere. When I walk up it I go crazy. Drive up it get nauseous. Hangs over my life. Endless, out of time.
When is a road not a road? When it’s a wormhole, a border, a sound barrier. The A13 cuts up our borough. Flip it on its head and rethink how we live alongside the road in this immersive audio-visual exhibition.
road movie is on show at Eastbury Manor House from March 28th to April 30th. There will also be 5 artist-led walks spread along the A13 in the month of April.
Click here to RSVP to the open view on March 28th, 6-9pm.
Alongside the exhibition will be a series of artist*-led walks by the likes of Sahra Hersi, Steve Lawes, Sadie Davidson, Shaun Tuck, Kevin Hudson, and Vishal Narayan. They will walk you through the struggles, victories, and green shoots of the locations along the A13, thinking about foraging, ancient history, and modern redevelopment.
Each of these walks will be 2 hours long with free food included, and start and end close to public transport (we’ll uber you back to a train station if that’s not possible). We’re taking care to make things wheelchair accessible where possible on a shakey terrain, and will signpost terrain conditions and access in good time.
Sign up to the free guided walks as they become available throughout March.
*I say artist, but some people are more community organisers, activists, architects, campaigners. It’s all a kind of art right?
