About this event

Join RIBA Learning for a morning of sewing and chat inspired by the beautiful and historic surroundings of Van Gogh House. Come along to meet new people or chat to an old friend, while you stitch some shapes, words, patterns or draw with thread. The fabric will evolve to represent the contributors and the conversations that unfold. This is a travelling piece that will go to many venues over a 3 year period during the refurbishment of the RIBA’s HQ building.

Organized by

Van Gogh House London

Organised by Van Gogh House London, the Festival of ENCOUNTERS is a free-to-attend, large-scale event, featuring up to 40 talks and other kinds of encounters, by artists, writers, activists, musicians and thinkers in venues across the northern end of Brixton. This includes not only Van Gogh House, but also galleries, parks and community centres and other exciting venues including non-traditional spaces such as cafes, and a co-op workshop space. The Festival is inspired by serendipitous encounters with interesting people in unexpected places, bringing together exciting voices, thoughts and ideas to and from Brixton.

Van Gogh House London is very grateful to Lambeth Council for their support in helping us bring this inaugural Festival of ENCOUNTERS to fruition.
