Kennington Park Walk in Kennington

People Power at Imperial War Museum in Kennington
Only a short walk from our Kennington office is the Imperial War Museum, who are currently holding a new exhibition called People Power. This exhibition explores how peace movements from as far back as the First World War to the present day, have influenced perceptions of war and conflict. From modern marches, to peace camps and conscientious objectors, People Power tells the stories of many passionate people over the last hundred years and their struggles of enduring the anti-war cause. The paintings, literature, posters, banners, music and more show the creativity involved in these protest movements and how they reflected the cultural mood of each era.

Josef Frank at the Fashion & Textile Museum in London Bridge
Explore the expansive body of work of designer and artist Josef Frank in this first ever UK exhibition of his textiles. Moving to Sweden in 1933, Frank developed his own colourful brand of modernism, working with Estrid Ericson on furniture, lighting, glassware and interior design ideas. Together they reinvented what is regarded as Swedish Modern and plays a heavy role in the Scandi chic look that many people try to accomplish in their own homes today. The exhibition also shares a little about his history as an Austrian Jew who had to flee Vienna for Stockholm. If you're looking for some interior design inspiration, the Fashion & Textile Museum is worth a visit this weekend.
