Join Saatchi Gallery for a weekend of performances, guided workshops, seasonal refreshments and creative activations, all celebrating the summer solstice alongside access to their major exhibition The Sun and The Moon: Art Inspired by the Celestial.
Friday 19 June (6.30pm – 9pm)
Solstice Straw Workshop: led by the Gallery Learning team and artist Lucy Hook-Child, drawing inspiration from the traditional folkloric craft of sun wheel patterning
Performance by artist Bryony Ella: Stand of the Sun – a solstice ritual for the melting metropolis – is a unique storytelling experience emerging out of My Body is a Sundial, the artist’s sculptural work on display as part of The Sun and The Moon. Written and directed by Bryony Ella, the event features a live performance by Alleyne Dance, lighting by Rachel Sampley and a musical score composed by Bumi Thomas
