Who is Britain? - September 2018 - June 2019
The imminent exit of the European Union will initiate the start of a new chapter in British history. With every culture, sub-culture and tribe comes a unique set of identities, rituals, traditions, customs, myths and folklore. With multiculturalism and the ever-increasing ease of mobility and mass communication we have never been so exposed to the rich wealth of the diversity on offer, however, with globalisation we find values of heritage, tradition and culture to be increasingly endangered by global market forces and mass production. This scheme proposes to provide a place for local individuality and identity. It will provide a place for specific cultures, sub-cultures and tribes.
The project is situated within Cecil Sharp House, the heart of English Folk Music, and home of the English Folk Dance & Song Society in Camden.
