For Wordless Wednesday and bloghops various!
.

As I’ve mentioned many times before, at the end of my road is an Art Deco building known as the De La Warr Pavilion. As well as a theatre, a cinema, a restaurant, a shop and a roof terrace it has three galleries!
We currently have three exhibitions on the go including one of embroidered capes and cloths by Stitch for Change, a refugee and migrant based charity that supports those seeking refuge and safety in our area.
In we go!.
Click and click again to get a closer look!

Up we go to the next level!

Downstairs there’s a strange exhibition of worn out motorcycle saddles, frayed gloves, scruffy crash helmets, used bungee cables and tatty backpacks in appreciation of the the mundane, neglected and forgotten items that surround us… apparently!
Here we go…

In another gallery we have intricately woven pieces by an indigenous textile artist from the La Puntana Wichi community in Salta, Argentina.

That’s enough for now, time to go home!

On Saturday I’m heading South to Madeira for a while. I should have a picture or two for you when I get back!

HERE’S LINKY!
First, safe travels Keith. And thank you for the beautiful photos of this great cause. I love your closeups of the fabrics especially indigenous textile artist.
Thanks so much, Suzette.
This year, over 15,000 migrants have arrived in small rubber boats along the coast on which I live- 400 last Wednesday alone.
What courage it must take to risk everything for the hope of a better life. Thank you, Keith
Sadly, far too many lose their lives while attempting the crossing.
Lovely exhibition. I definitely want a cape.
You’d look splendid in one!
Lucky you Keith! So many interesting things to see just right down the corner. Beautiful capes and textiles.
…one event after another! Thanks, Sadje
They want you to have a great time.
wow, lots to see
Indeed!
Wow! What colors! Enjoy your travels, dear Keith!
I fully intend to, Nancy, thank you.
A wonderful place to visit. Love all the colors. Beautiful.
Thank you for hosting the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week, Keith. 🙂
safe travels and thanks for this post – I enjoyed every single photo – and feel like I got a huge splash of art and culture
Thanks for your kind words, Yvette.

I know I’ve said it before, but how lovely to have all those things at the end of the street. Enjoy your travels. (Love the support cape)
I’m blessed! Thank you, Lydia.
It must be nice to have such galleries close by, thank you for sharing the current exhibits.
Bon Voyage!
It is, thanks so much, Mimi.
What a variety of capes! The building itself is art love the views from the windows and that spiral staircase. Have a fun trip!
It’s a spectacular building!
Thanks so much, I fully intend to!
The capes and textiles are beautiful. The bike bits and pieces is “unusual.”
Have a lovely holiday!

Perfectly summed up!
Thank you.
What a fascinating mix of the delicate and the gritty, embroidered capes speaking of resilience upstairs, and downstairs, a raw tribute to the overlooked textures of everyday life; the De La Warr Pavilion never fails to surprise
It certainly doesn’t! Thanks so much.
Hi Keith – certainly interesting exhibitions – the de la Warr does Bexhill proud. Just enjoy Madeira – looking forward to the pics … cheers happy travelling – Hilary
Hope you are having a wonderful and safe trip!
Mitch
I can’t wait to see your photos!
