Verity-Jane Keefe: Living Together Virtual Walk #2

Tuesday, 20 April 2021

Join artists Verity-Jane Keefe on a virtual walk ‘East to West’ on 29th April, 6.30pm. The walk will be streamed at this time on LT TV. Join for a moment of it, or the full walk. In the spirit of slow television, this is a moving image walk from east to west in real-time, across Becontree. The walking route is available on the map section of www.livingtogether.org.uk for those local, and curious.

LT TV is your portal to Living Together and Becontree. Living Together TV. Events, walks, conversations, readings – everything that we can’t do in physical space together will be broadcast via this stream. It is a screening room, a gallery, a direct line to Becontree and a way to feel close when we are remote.

Living Together is a major art commission by Verity-Jane Keefe which forms part of a wider programme with Create London celebrating the centenary of the Becontree estate in Barking and Dagenham and culminates Keefe’s many years of work in and about the estate. It will look at the past 100 years of social housing through the lens of Becontree, which was once the largest social housing estate in the world; looking at its past, the present and into the future. The project will run live through the year during an urgent period of economic, social and political change and the ever-evolving backdrop of Covid-19, which will be absorbed and responded to within the production of works.
