To spark ideas in the run up to the next E17 Art Trail dedicated to STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering Art and Mathematics) we are holding a series of six lively monthly talks in Walthamstow. Featuring artists and experts in science, geology and maths: we want to inspire the community to think about, generate and develop ideas based on STEAM topics in time for when registration for the E17 Art Trail opens in early 2017. Join us for lively panel discussions, debates, workshops, demonstrations and drinks.

The first of these six monthly talks ties in with Cultivate, Waltham Forest’s Urban Food Growing Festival. Speakers include Rosalind Fowler and Tasha Marks. Rosalind was Artist in Residence at the William Morris Gallery 2015-16, her work explores the connections between William Morris’s “ecotopian” ideals and Waltham Forest’s expanding network of urban food-growing sites. Tasha Marks is an award-winning food historian and artist, who explores the relationship between food, art and history. Her practice, AVM Curiosities, champions the use of food as an artistic medium, with projects ranging from museum-style exhibitions and sculptural installations, to interactive lectures and limited-edition confectionery.
