Join us for an evening of storytelling, cinema, and reflection

The V&A East Robin Hood Young Producers invite you to a powerful showcase of film and discussion that explores the layered history of the Robin Hood Gardens estate, which was in Poplar and home to many communities. Do Ho Suh made a film visualising its bold brutalist architecture and this evening shares the stories of the people who lived there.

Through oral histories, poetry, and visual responses it offers a personal look at life in the area—set against the backdrop of an ongoing housing crisis. This event is in response to The Genesis Exhibition: Do Ho Suh: Walk the House.

The Genesis Exhibition: Do Ho Suh: Walk the House is in partnership with Genesis. Supported by The Genesis Exhibition: Do Ho Suh Supporters Circle and Tate Members.

The Genesis Exhibition: Do Ho Suh: Walk the House public programme is supported by Korean Cultural Centre UK.
