SANCTUARY: 
Green Spaces & Social Value

16.30 - 19.00, Thursday 4 May 2017
Lambeth Palace Road, Lambeth, London SE1 7LB

More than two-thirds of the population in England live in urban areas and there is increasing recognition of the value of green space to modern urban lives; from mental health and biodiversity to the daily pleasure of millions. 
 
Whilst artist-not-in-residence at the Garden Museum (the Museum has been closed during the year of her residency for major renovations) Eileen Hogan created a ‘virtual garden museum’ by asking a cross-section of people to nominate a London green space that is important to them and to describe why.  The selections are varied and range across private, public, community, guerilla, corporate, remembered and painted. People value spaces which have intensity, history, resilience and provide sanctuary. This event dealt with some related, but distinct issues, which have emerged about the importance of the green infrastructures in cities to well-being.

Convened by Professor Eileen Hogan, to coincide with her exhibition at the Garden Museum, this event is held in collaboration with the Museum and forms part of the opening celebrations for the recent redevelopment project. Presented by Camberwell, Chelsea, Wimbledon Graduate School Public Programme.
