Eastbury Manor House will play host to an exhibition of new artwork and

spoken word made by Dauda Ladejobi and Steve Lawes in collaboration with

members of the Barking and Dagenham community. The evening will also

feature Spoken Not Stirred, one of LBBD's premier spoken word open mic

events!

The exhibition of new works is a tongue-in-cheek faux-museum installation

which imagines a fusing of Barking's past and present timelines, bringing our

history a new sense of relevance in the here and now. With "artefacts" co-

created by members of the local community, you will explore modern day

issues and their connection to Barking and Dagenham's rich past. The night

will also see the unveiling of a brand new Tudor-inspired wall hanging for the

house, as well as a new spoken word piece that fuses the old and new

through stories and ideas shared by residents.
