The Line Walk & workshop

Come along for a guided walk along part of The Line’s public art trail at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park with Gusty Ferro, the East London Art Prize shortlisted artist who will be sharing their practice that explores the relationship between urban infrastructure, public space, and the body.

The walk will be followed by a hands-on collaborative workshop where you will collectively create a fictional square, sketching and transforming objects, taking inspiration from the surroundings and artworks along The Line & Gusty’s sculptural works that presents a brutalist sensitivity to texture and material.

This is an interactive workshop with plenty of time for discussion. All materials provided.
