Business n Play
2024-04-13 09:30 - 13:30 | The Art Station, 48 High Street, Saxmundham, IP17 1AB
Free workshop for budding freelancers and business people.
The idea was born in the middle of the pandemic. People started to question aspects of their lives and
current work situations, wondering whether this was really what they wanted to do for the rest of their
lives. For Sara Malaguti, the person behind the game, imagination was key. So, why not start from
here? Vision and imagination have a fantastic power when it comes to business modelling, even if they
seem to be the complete antithesis of it at first glance. But the truth of the matter is that being able to
see ourselves and others in different contexts to normal is where innovation starts.

Art Station Film Night
2024-06-28 19:00 - 21:00 | Saxmundham Market Hall, High Street, Saxmundham, IP171AF, United Kingdom
Book your tickets for Art Station Film this Friday 28th June, 7pm at Saxmundham Market Hall!
Another exciting instalment of films, including work by artists Andrew Omoding, Daisy Collingridge, Samantha Moore, Leigh Bowery, Martin Creed and Steriogram. Curated by @emilyrichardsonfilms
Check out Andrew Omoding’s Birdman of Primrose Hill, where Andrew beckons and performs with bird-like sculptures on top of Primrose Hill and at Camden Art Centre’s garden in London. Inspired by seeing Chucky Yi flying his parrots on Primrose Hill, their fantastic colours and plumage, resonated with Andrew, informing his handmade costume, sculptural birds and headdress which all feature in the film.
The film was commissioned by Camden Art Centre and shown as part of Andrew’s solo exhibition Animals to Remember Uganda at Camden Art Centre in 2024.
Andrew Omoding is a Ugandan-British artist who lives and works in London. His masterful hybrid constructions sit between figuration and abstraction and often tell autobiographical stories of London or new surroundings.
