At Home With The World exhibition
13th February, 2012
From 20th March to 9th September 2012, the Geffrye Museum is telling a fantastic story about how a myriad of the domestic designs, decorations, materials and social customs we consider to be 'English', in fact originate elsewhere. At Home with the World is one of a series of Stories of the World: London exhibitions across London exploring four aspects of life in this World City - Home, Identity, Journeys and Place.
Chocolate Films has had the pleasure of working with the Geffrye Museum for the last three years on the Home strand of the Stories of the World project, as part of the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad - a UK celebration of diversity and creativity which explores the stories behind museum collections and works with young people to create exhibitions and events around specific themes. Since 2009, Chocolate Films has provided intensive community and youth engagement work in the way of a whole range of filmmaking workshops, using the Geffrye's collection to tell a story. We're pleased to say that 35 of these short films will be shown as part of the exhibition.
Admission to the exhibition is free to all.
