South London Story Lab with the Big Family Press, South London Gallery, 2019
Join us in the Archive for an afternoon of animated films set in locations across south London. Second year BA Illustration students present a series of short, animated films which showcase their research into the social, political, mythological and architectural histories of south London.
Over the course of the afternoon the films will explore the histories of Camberwell Fair, the Streatham Common Rookery, the Cinema Museum, Tooting Bec, the London Sewing Machine Museum and Brockwell Lido. The screenings will also highlight the mythical histories of the local area, from the hauntings of the white lady of Camberwell to the spectre of Spring-heeled Jack.
This event is part of the South London Story Lab Archive takeover and has been programmed by second year BA Illustration Students from UAL Camberwell College to coincide with the display South London Story Lab with the Big Family Press which is on show in the Archive from 18 February until 12 May.
