LUX Breakfast Opening – BL CK BX: Alia Syed @ LUX
Jan 31 @ 9:00 am – 10:30 am

LUX is pleased to invite local residents, community groups and businesses to a free breakfast event at its building in Waterlow Park. Join us for coffee, tea and pastries, meet our team and other locals as well as visit our current exhibition. All welcome, drop in any time between 9 – 10.30am.

The current exhibition, BL CK B X: Alia Syed, presents Syed’s Wallpaper, a double screen film that was originally commissioned by the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery in 2008. Wallpaper is a performative documentary in which four generations of women in the artist’s family attempt to recreate a wallpaper design that was painted by Syed’s grandmother when the artist was a child. It features Syed, her daughter, mother, and grandmother, as well as her sister, artist-filmmaker Tanya Syed. Documenting the process in video and 16mm film, the five women take turns in the film’s technical roles (performer, director, camera operator), thus de-stabilizing the relationship between filmmaker and filmed subject, and the traditional generational hierarchy. The result is a self-reflexive and delicately layered film which deals with family, memory and subjectivity. Wallpaper is shown alongside a library display of Syed’s Points of Departure (2014) and A Story Told (2004).

Children’s Theatre – The Enormous Turnip @ Lauderdale House
Oct 13 @ 10:30 am – 11:30 am

One Moment In Time Theatre present their own version of the classic folk tale The Enormous Turnip – but with a magical twist! We follow the tale of a young girl called Rosie who dreams of carving a special turnip lantern for the Festival of Light. To plant and harvest the turnip, Rosie will need plenty of help from the audience, her animal friends and one small but very important gnome! Little does Rosie know how absolutely enormous her turnip will grow!

“The show was completely magical and the puppetry exquisite. The children were hooked from the outset.”
– Samantha Lane, artistic director, Little Angel Theatre, London

Using beautiful puppetry and engaging story-telling, this performance captivates children’s attention as the action on stage unfolds. The Enormous Turnip is perfect for young children and fun for the whole family.

The Enormous Turnip takes place at Lauderdale House on 13 October, starting at 10:30am. Suitable for children aged 2 and up.
