Societea

2009
Installation, live events
Exhibit, London

Societea turned the Exhibit gallery in Golden Lane Estate into a tea hut for two weeks. Tea and cake were exchanged for conversation and daily arts activities took place. A ‘mugathon’ happened- visitors were invited to bring their favourite mug for a free cuppa and to include it in the ‘mugathon hall of fame’. Many shared stories about how they had acquired their favourite mug, and their relationship with the local area. This was the beginning of a residency at Golden Lane Estate.
