Alvaro Barrington: Drawing workshop Backyard Biennial Neighbourhood Party

For one day only, Fredrica’s, House of Annetta, Spitalfields City Farm, and Whitechapel Gallery present a free, all-day neighbourhood party, bringing their spaces to life with a multi-disciplinary programme of live performances, workshops, installations, participatory experiences, creative experiments, and more! 

Fredrica’s is Alvaro Barrington’s studio dedicated to artistic and cultural production. 

Since their inception in 1818 and 1895, the buildings at 179-181 Whitechapel Road in London were home to educational facilities. The Davenant School was the first occupier of the building, followed by a youth centre until 2017. Continuing the spirit of learning embedded in the history of this space, Fredrica’s reimagines education through the act of engaging with arts and crafts within the context of an artist’s studio. 

Join in Fredrica’s garden for an afternoon of drawing. This gathering invites participants to make work inspired by the artist’s garden and will feature seasonal plants and flowers sourced from the nearby Spitalfields City Farm.
