Synopsis

Working in collaboration with an eclectic range of artists including Coney, Kazuko Hohki, Bryony Kimmings and Uninvited Guests, the show is constructed of three pathways for three age groups.

Each journey draws on the rich and diverse historical make-up of Battersea's cultural identity to make a series of stories that unite the past with the future.
