Join Tool/Toy Project (Rachel Jones and Maegen Icke) on a night-walk to discuss and imagine new opportunities for human and non-human thriving at night as well as in the daylight.

Night-walking (noctambulation) offers us another perspective on familiar places and patterns. As the dark rises and vision abstracts, it becomes easier to imagine the past as well as possible futures.

We will consider alternative uses for buildings and surfaces, replanning through play using the simplest of tools. We invite participants to bypass the limits of practicalities and reality and to think and dream big about new ways of inhabiting our environment.

This is a 'pay what you can' event, and we recommend at least a £5 contribution towards the cost of materials.

Part of The Living House, celebrating 150 years since Van Gogh lived in South London.

-------

Tool/Toy Project is the shared practice of two Welsh designers, Rachel Jones and Maegan Icke . As the objects of work and play, tools and toys tell us something about their societies of origin. Using these devices, Tool/Toy Project tell stories of speculative worlds and reimagined futures.

Their work explore themes of degrowth, play, domesticity and urban planning with the aim of imagining alternative societal structures that don’t incentivise ecological destruction and social exploitation.
