Theme - Community
This month, our photo social will focus on the theme of community and will be hosted by photographer, and Take It Easy team member, Hannah Platt.
Taking inspiration from the latest exhibition by Hyde Park Art Club - 'Is This What We Have Left?’, we want to explore how photography can be used to document a community, create a sense of belonging, and showcase it's heritage.
A room full of different everyday objects invites young and older to stack, balance and join to make 3D artworks from the stuff that surrounds us and is thrown away when it could be used to make art. Each day we will photograph one and post it on our social media as #Play 'sculpture of the day'.
Whilst you are here, why not explore the Gallery for artworks featuring everyday things, spend time in our Sculpture and Photography exhibition, and pop-next door to our sister gallery the Henry Moore Institute to find the Hany Armanious 'Stone Soup exhibition.
Create your own living art.
Discover the art of Kokedama, a Japanese technique that transforms plants into beautiful, hanging moss balls. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to make your very own Kokedama.
No prior experience is needed – just bring your creativity and love for plants!

Six hours of DJ MUTANT MOVEMENT.
The idea is not to just play records released in a particular year but more about recreating the buzz that was around at the time, including tracks released on record in previous years but still very relevant as well as those not yet on record but a staple part of an artist's live show, B-sides and album tracks or sessions recorded for radio broadcast such as on John Peel's show.
Either way, every track I play at these anniversary events were heard in the year we celebrate and no doubt in someone's list of favourite tracks of that year.

For Halloween, the increasingly revered horror masterpiece Messiah of Evil (1973). This contains some of the most potent macabre imagery and atmosphere of the 70s, which will always be my favourite decade for the genre.
