Brocals - out of the mancave - in & out of Lockdown

BROCALS - Out of the man cave - In and out of lockdown

A series of oral histories & patterns made in collaboration with a group of elderly men from the Hackney Charity ‘Brocals’ about their experience in & out of lockdown.  The work concludes in an exhibition from the 18th May 2021 at Hackney Museum

This title wallpaper Brocals - Out of the man cave - depicts the participants at Chislehurst caves, on one of the many outings they enjoyed with the group. Also a fitting theme to front an exhibition about lockdown.
