The Sharing Picnic 100 was a broad-based collaborative event produced by Home Live Art in partnership with The Friends of Arnold Circus – over 50 local artists from Shoreditch’s artist community joined with local groups, schools, volunteers and neighbourhood businesses and invited people to share in a vibrant community event around food and friendliness: a sumptuous picnic, artists’ fair, bandstand programme and the final challenge to cycle 100 times around the Circus and alternative vehicle parade.
Participatory projects leading up to the event included the production of a beautiful community Cook Book, an Arnold Circus newspaper by Adam Dant and a Kitchen Orchestra created in collaboration with Spitalfields Music by local elders and school children.
Artists: Sophie Herxheimer, Miche Fabre-Louin, Konditor and Cook, Tim Mitchell, Cathy Wren; Graphic Design by Åbäke, Curated by Clare Patey.
