About This Event
This event takes place in Angel Alley.
Angel Alley, and the social bench, is accessed from Whitechapel High Street via the passageway next to KFC.
In case of extreme weather we may move into the gallery but a wee bit of rain won’t stop us.
The Bench Project in Angel Alley is a celebration of street furniture, an experiment in sharing space, an exploration of the everyday life of the city, a reclamation of the art of loitering and a chance to sit down, take a moment, and chat about whatever you like (or just sit quietly and see what else is happening in the alley).
Please come and take a seat with me.
All welcome, no appointment or previous experience required. In case of extreme weather we may move into the gallery but a wee bit of rain won’t stop us. Angel Alley, and the social bench, is accessed from Whitechapel High Street via the passageway next to KFC.
Thanks to the Angel Allies.
Morag Rose is a walking artist-activist-academic and creative mischief maker. In 2006 she founded psychogeographical collective The LRM (Loiterers Resistance Movement). On the first Sunday of every month The LRM facilitate a free, communal, wander somewhere in Greater Manchester. They have played games of CCTV Bingo, made giant cake maps, saved a towpath from being diverted into a hotel lobby and created performance tours on subjects including canal monsters, hostile architecture, drunkenness and public toilets. Morag is also a Senior Lecturer in Human Geography at The University of Liverpool, and her first book The Feminist Art of Walking was published by Pluto in 2025
