LOCAL CREATIVES SHOWCASE

Featuring music, dance, art, poetry and short films from budding creatives in Barking & Dagenham.

Curated by Barking & Dagenham local, AJ Haastrup from One Room Live.

AJ Haastrup:

AJ Haastrup is a Social Designer/ Consultant and Co founder of One Room Live. My work over the last 6- 7 years has been mainly in cultural production and understanding the latent potential arts and culture, specifically music has to connect people in new ways but also creating livelihoods. Working across social research, arts and culture, civic design. Futurism, ecosystem thinking and the changing nature of how we live and connect in urban context fascinates me and working with future generations of change makers.

This programme will be followed by a panel discussion.

More details coming soon...
