\nFrom Seven Days in Seven Dials: A week in the life of London\u2019s Cultural Quarters<\/em><\/p>\n

About a month ago<\/a> I mentioned that Alice was spending the week in Covent Garden as part of the Seven Days in Seven Dials<\/em> project organised by Dan Thompson of the Empty Shops Network<\/a>. For a week ten artists and thirty young people employed on placements in some of London\u2019s leading cultural institutions used 18 Short\u2019s Gardens as a studio. During the week the group explored the area gathering local stories, histories and connections and captured a snapshot of life in Seven Dials in film, sound, photography and writing.<\/p>\n

Three books made by participants in the project are now available to download at diffusion.org.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Seven Days in Seven Dials: A week in the life of London\u2019s Cultural Quarters<\/em>, documents the project and its workshops describing the partners, artists and participants. Snapshots of the area, photographs of the making of the Seven Streets in Seven Dials<\/em> film, notes and sights from A Walk Round the Cultural Quarter<\/em> and pictures of the recording of the audio tour come together to give a sense of a lively area and action-packed week.<\/p>\n

The Alternative, Whistle Stop Tour of the West End Cultural Quarter<\/em> acts as a guide book to the area and takes you on a tour of the Culture Quarter. Written by participants the eBook combines photographs, navigational directions and local trivia including financial scandals, martinis and phone boxes.<\/p>\n
