Join us to celebrate the start of Re-Wild, 6 week art and nature community engagement project, inspired by the green spaces of Ilford

Meet the artists involved in the project, experience the bespoke design of the venue inspired by Ilford's ecology and take part or listen in on a group discussion around memory and local green space.

There will also be opportunity to check out exciting film and sound submissions by artists local to Ilford and beyond. These have been selected through an open call with theme "Sacred Symbiosis"- how do species protect/ support and sometimes feed off of each other?

The event will be at Ilford Spark, 120-122 High Road, Ilford, IG1 1DA

Re-Wild

This opening event is to celebrate Re-Wild taking place in Ilford for 6 weeks between 19th August-25th September

For 5 weeks, artists will research and respond to 5 different green spaces (parks, rivers, forests) in or near Ilford and run art workshops open to all members of the public.

So do visit and take part in the art workshops!

All materials provided and open to all ages and abilities.
