Celebrate the vision of Joan Little wood and Cedric Price!

In past Fun Palaces we built time machines, recited poetry from ladders, watched robots roam, listened to Iraqi love songs, and explored the origins of the universe. We celebrated the art and science of the Russian Revolution, engaged in long conversations, and let our spirits soar.

This year, we invite everyone to join once more. We predict there will be a Chinese tea ceremony; the participants in a Co-operative Poetry Competition; playing with computerised tactile sound threads; folk music; English dance; Mandarin poetry; ’Cedric Price and anarchist architecture’ a lecture; an explanation of the relationship between maths and music; Shakespeare sonnets … Whether you bring an experiment, a poem, a biscuit, or just yourself, celebrate the culture within and help build another unforgettable Fun Palace.

“I think it making a Fun Palace means that the culture of science, of poetry, of dancing and art and making is fundamental and crucial…. If there’s any way to have a healthy and better society, it’s to have Fun Palaces every day for 365 days…. everything we need is inside us”
