A secret place with Paul Noble

Noble will take us on a trip down memory lane to an area of London where he spent his formative years as an artist living within a community of politically active artists and activists in the 80s. This stimulating visit will reveal the history of the place and how it impacted on Paul’s practice as an artist.
