art trail
as part of the onRedchurch StreetFest 2021, an art trail was curated by Rich Mix, featuring work across all media, from photography to light sculpture.
starting at Sweaty Betty, the trail meandered along Redchurch Street from Kite to Folk and Boone & Last and, after a brief diversion via Browns on Club Row, wrapped up with one final artist to discover at Rich Mix before culminating in the beautiful Illuminate exhibition by Martin Richman.
Richman worked with locals from older generations, providing a space for them to share their memories of the East End. the exhibition reveals how these sessions evolved, with archival photographs and works in progress alongside Martin’s final piece Shards of Light, The Feeling of Remembering, a series of light boxes that beautifully animate the memories shared.
other artists featured on the trail included:
copies of the map, beautifully illustrated by Ellie Stanton, were available at any of the stops along the way (or from a number of other friendly retailers on the street).
