Making the House Work: Stories of the domestic interior

Wednesday 13 July, 7pm-8.45pm

RIBA HQ, 66 Portland Place, W1B 1AD 

What can houses tell us about their inhabitants? What narratives are tied up in their surfaces, their objects, trinkets and furniture? 

Join artist filmmaker Emily Richardson as she presents the screening of her House Works trilogy, three short films which explore radical domestic spaces in Essex and Suffolk. The films focus on H. T. 'Jim' and Betty Cadbury-Brown's 3 Church Walk in Aldeburgh, Suffolk, John Penn's Beach House in Shingle Street, Suffolk and Richard and Su Rogers' Spender House and Studio, near Maldon, Essex. After the screening, she will be in conversation with Dr Jana Scholze, as the two discuss the politics of the domestic interior and the radical ways in which these buildings were inhabited.
