This year Clean Break is celebrating 25 years in our Kentish Town studios with an event, Women’s Spaces: Landmarks on the Journey, part of this year's Being Human Festival. The event will take place on 7 November 2024. There are two time slots to chose from, from 2pm - 4pm or from 4:30pm - 6:30pm, both at Clean Break's building.
This event is part of Being Human Festival, the UK’s national festival of the humanities, taking place 7 – 16 November 2024. Led by the School of Advanced Study, University of London, with generous support from Research England, in partnership with the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the British Academy. For further information please visit the Being Human website.
The theme of this year's festival is Landmarks, to celebrate the landmark 10 year anniversary of the festival. We couldn't think of a better theme to acknowledge the anniversary of Clean Break's building, which has been a landmark of community, healing and creative discovery for hundreds of women over the past quarter-of-a-century.
At Women’s Spaces: Landmarks on the Journey, join Clean Break Members, Artistic Director Anna Herrmann and Dr Shona Minson from University of Oxford's Centre for Criminology, for an exciting day of creative engagement. Expect a screening of our film Sweatbox, an exhibition of Clean Break-inspired artworks by Laura Dean, insightful discussions and more.
Together, we will be exploring the importance women-only spaces hold for those with experience of the criminal justice system, and asking how a physical space can become a site of healing and liberation.
Come and celebrate this landmark anniversary with us, and explore what else Being Human Festival has to offer.
