A NEW FESTIVAL FOR INTERDISCIPLINARY ART AND CULTURE IN LONDON'S LARGEST INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT

Presented through exhibitions, installations, site-specific interventions, performances, food, open studios, talks, workshops and participatory events, Manufactory invites audiences into the hidden spaces of production that shape the city. Unfolding across workshops, warehouses, studios and industrial sites, the festival opens up environments that are rarely accessible to the public, foregrounding Park Royal as a distinctive destination for contemporary interdisciplinary practice.

SITE CONDITIONS - Donald Baugh, Ocean Baulcombe-Toppin, Jo Chate, Jermaine Francis, Esther Kehinde Ajayi, Henry Krokatsis, Dan Mauz, Fernando M. Romero, Linn Phyllis Seeger & Sharon Walters

MAIN EXHIBITION
Site Conditions brings together artists whose practices explore the ways in space is produced, organised, inhabited and understood.
Moving across sculpture, installation, moving image and sound, the exhibition considers architecture, infrastructure, movement, sound, memory and social relations as forces that shape our experience of place. The works approach space not as a neutral backdrop but as something continually constructed through physical systems, human activity and collective imagination.
PENCIL FOILING - Absolute Beginners × London Centre for Book Arts

WORKSHOP
Using reclaimed carpenter's pencils donated by a Park Royal workshop that produces furniture and interiors for leading international fashion houses, participants will learn to sand, finish and personalise their own pencil using hand tools and a traditional foil-blocking press. The workshop explores how everyday materials can be reimagined through design and making, revealing the creative potential of reuse, craftsmanship and sustainable production.
