A series of oil on canvas self portraits by Flora Malpas were displayed at the Hive, Dalston, from the 4th - 6th September as part of the inaugural exhibition of new art collective Bedroom Artists. #Exhibition #portrait #selfportrait #hackney #hive #bedroomartists #community

This Saturday saw a cardboard metropolis emerge at the Hive in Haggerston. Children and their families used recyclable materials such as cardboard boxes and plastic bottles to build their own imaginary city in the middle of the gallery space. With the help of some paint, pipe cleaners and glitter they transformed the empty spaces of the boxes into skate parks, churches, swimming pools and fountains, reflecting the principals of urban regeneration at the centre of the Hive. #w
