This Must Be The Place
Filming project titled 'This Must Be The Place' where students generate ideas through workshops for Ebbsfleet Garden City. Working with artists and a wide range of partners, young people aged 16-25 will co-lead the programme, exploring and shaping Ebbsfleet Garden City as it is built. Together they will consider innovative and radical placemaking ideas with partners including architects, designers, philosophers and policy makers, and share their research on what has worked locally, nationally and internationally. This process will feed into a series of new and experimental art commissions and residencies, embedded in the city and community, connecting the histories and potential futures of the social, political, geographical and civic landscapes they live in.
We are filming the development of the programme which will be presented in a film documentary, so watch this space!

Nik Nak
This July routestock present turntablist and sound artist NikNak, in an immersive event exploring her vision of Afrofuturism - the narrative of a young black woman realising her potential and superhuman abilities.
NikNak and audio-visual artist Loepa combine a treasure trove of pre-created sound and visuals which are transformed in the venue, with live scratching, interplay between visuals and audio, and the movement of sound around the audience within The Hot Tin’s surround sound system.
NikNak is our guide, the central character sharing the screen with images of her childhood superhero, Storm (NikNak has a tattoo of Storm), the visuals combine illustration, manipulated live film footage and references to comic book imagery.
An invitation to watch and listen as the turntables, sound and story swirl and surround you within the walls of The Hot Tin.
