Chiara Perini / RESIDENCY / 5 -14 May 2011

   
     
Building Utopia    
     
     

Chiara’s workshop is a participatory art project aimed to create a new environment within the Elephant and Castle Shopping Centre. Using recycled materials and imagination the participants will work together to build up a fantasy space outside the Studio at the Elephant. The magical of a new world will grow through the infinite imagination of people enjoying the making of a communal dream.
Everyone is welcome to participate and to contribute to an endless creation of fun and enjoyment. Please, come along and bring your friends too
