FACE 2 FACE

March 5th / 18:00 - 21:00

Laundry Studios

2 Warburton Road, London, E8 3RT

On March 5th, we return IRL at Laundry Studios in Hackney, London, for a new chapter of our long-running event series, bringing artists, art lovers, creatives and culture-shapers together once again in a shared space.

The exhibition theme, FACE 2 FACE, puts human connection front and centre. Expect powerful portraiture and figurative works that explore identity, intimacy and vulnerability. Artworks that demand eye contact and real emotional exchange. In a digital world built on distance and distraction, FACE 2 FACE is about returning to the real: conversations with strangers that become friends, ideas exchanged, and moments that can only exist when people are in the same room.

RSVP is essential for entry - spaces are limited.

Being able to both support a platform for emerging artists whilst transforming buildings is a win-win.
