Inspired by Virginia Woolf and in support for equality in spite of gender and mental illness experience, we’re crowdfunding to raise money to build an immersive installation designed to engage and champion the right for a safe inclusive space for all.  The installation will begin life as 'a blank canvas' - a symbolic manifestation of Woolf's 'Room of One's Own' for artists and visitors to fill with imagery and thoughts throughout International Women's Day. It will then be converted to a greenhouse and donated to The Dragon Cafe - a weekly pop-up cafe and creative space for mental health service users. We would really appreciate your support in helping us bring this project to life. Please do pledge to our crowdfunding campaign, share the link below among your friends, and join us on March 8th. We would be eternally grateful. http://www.zequs.com/campaign/a-room-of-one-s-own-a-live-art-installation#.VN6Bc8bgz_6 /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// And last but not least we're pleased to announce that we'll be taking over 47/49 Tanner Street in the second of our Takeover series!
