Join Lucy Harbron for a night of listening, writing and reading in response to the exhibition Middlesex Hospital Blues

Inspired by Derek Jarman’s intimate work Blue, join us for a workshop hosted by writer and researcher, Lucy Harbron.

Visit Fitzrovia Chapel after hours and let your own creativity roam free. Ticket holders will get to hear the new audio installation in full and be invited to write freely in response, inspired by the exhibition, the audio and writing prompts from Derek Jarman’s moving text for Blue.

Afterwards, the collective will be encouraged to share and hear readings, wrapping up a special night designed to connect you with your thoughts, feelings and senses.

The Fitzrovia Chapel is wheelchair accessible. For access needs please email fr***@*************el.org

If cost is a barrier to your attendance, please get in touch.
