Late Night Screening of A Bedroom for Everyone

6–8pm

Grand Union

A landscape image of a large screen within a dark gallery space. The screen is filled by a brightly coloured animated scene featuring a crowd of protestors. The protestors hold picket signs reading slogans such as 'repair don't demolish' and 'housing is a human right'. Diagonally, across the screen, bold yellow text reads 'A Bedroom for Everyone'.'

Join us for a late-night screening of A Bedroom for Everyone, an exhibition comprising a newly commissioned animation by filmmaker Ed Webb-Ingall. The project explores the power of grassroots activism and organising in the face of the ongoing housing emergency; whilst making space for the camaraderie that unfolds in the community centres and meeting halls where this work takes place.

Following time spent with housing and migrant-support groups from Glasgow, Nottingham, Liverpool, Birmingham and London, filmmaker Ed Webb-Ingall has collaborated with members of these groups to co-write the script for this new animation, illustrated by lead artist Sofia Niazi and animated by Astrid Goldsmith.
