Exhibition Tour London Festival of Architecture
Curator Tour of PLATFORM: Simone Brewster
Join us for a group tour exploring the stories behind PLATFORM: Simone Brewster, delivered by the display curator Hadeel Eltayeb, as part of this year's London Festival of Architecture.
What to expect
Simone Brewster is a designer whose work plays with form, working across scales and disciplines, defying a quick categorisation. She employs a visual language that is architectural and sculptural, rich with material histories and layered with references from palaeolithic fertility deities to African diasporic traditions. Brewster’s monographic display centres on the fluidity of her interdisciplinary practice. Visitors will see the range of her design practice, from jewellery, furniture, sculpted forms, to public architecture.
Display curator Hadeel Eltayeb will take the group on a journey, providing unique insights into her process of curating the show, working closely with Simone Brewster and the stories behind key objects.
This guided tour is free and unmissable for students, designers, architects and design enthusiasts. Pre-booking required.
