Unfamiliar Ground: Belonging on the Banks
An Evening of Culture and Conversation on Regent's Canal
Thursday 25th June
18:30 - 21:00
Unfamiliar Ground: Belonging on the Banks explores Regent’s Canal as a site of cultural production, where ecology, culture, and everyday life intersect. The evening reframes the canal as a shared territory of belonging: from a habitat for non-human life, to a workspace for creative institutions. We’ll be bringing together the ceramicist and illustrator Laura Carlin, founders of Towpath Cafe: Lori de Mori and Laura Jackson, Christopher Arthey from Swim City, and Adam Usher from The Canal Museum, to reflect on how the canal shapes their practice, and how, in turn, they shape the canal’s identity. Moderated by Amy Frearson.
