On the weekend of Feb 6th and 7th, The Hive Dalston will open its 4 floors of social space to host re:generation – a ground-breaking grassroots festival showcasing what can happen when we get together for the common good.
What began in December with a conversation about a suitable community venue for a free paint job, has snowballed into an unprecedented experiment in community collaboration.
A stellar cast of social enterprises, local businesses and volunteers, grouped into 12 themed teams, have created a diverse and original program of activities for the benefit of the community, featuring:
– The building of a new recording studio and painting of the community gallery (re:space)
– Live performances – from spoken word to jazz, and an open call to perform (re:live)
– Herb growing workshops (re:grow)
– Arts and crafts workshops, and creative speakers (re:create)
– Bike clinics, electrical repairs, give/take fair (re:start)
– A community art exhibition on the subject of collective action (re:present)
– A community discussion forum also on collective action, hosted within the art exhibition (re:imagine)
– Matchmaking between community organisations (re:connect)
– A community jog, and yoga class (re:fresh)
– Cooking and cocktail classes, a cake competition, and more with food waste (re:fuel)
Tune in to a special festival preview on Resonance FM this Friday 29th from 8-9pm… especially if you’re looking to get your artistic talents on stage, on the walls, on air or online.
