Anita Wadsworth / Show and Tell
19 May 9.30-12.30 & 2-5pm / Whitgift Centre
Show and a Tell is a one to one experience that is part workshop, part art event and all anti-anxious-action.
A tonic to frantic bag emptying and searching in public places, a soothing balm to those embarrassed "I know it's in here somewhere" moments, it’s a moment of calm order in a world that’s got messy.
Together, just the two of us, we will calmly explore, curate and document a tiny exhibition of ourselves as seen through the stuff we carry with us. You will decide what we work with and where, and who sees us. Sort the contents of your handbag, explore a pocket that’s never emptied, or a workbag that’s always heavier than you want it to be.
The experience will take place in and around The Whitgift Centre on the hour, every hour between 9.30am and 12.30 / 2pm – 5pm. The show lasts between 30mins and 1 hour, no interval but breaks as required by participant
Show and Tell forms part of a developing body of work exploring the meeting points of art, well being and the pursuit of quiet existence in a loud world. Developed through Live Art Development Agency DIY13 workshop with artist Rhiannon Armstrong, supported by Oasis Wandsworth and TURF, Croydon.
Suitable in content but under 16 year olds needs to attend with a parent/ guardian. Suitable for deaf or hard of hearing audiences
