Traces prend place dans le cadre du Fringe Shoreditch festival, l’endroit choisi se trouve à Hoxton et cette maison abandonnée va revivre comme ce qu’elle fut en 1870, au temps où ses habitants l’habitaient encore. On pourra visiter les pièces laissées à l’abandon par ses habitants de jadis, Traces va recréer les bruits, odeurs et se servir de cette coquille vide de lieu d’exposition pour des artistes.

Du 17 au 19 aout, le public pourra venir participer gratuitement à cette expérience pas comme les autres, qui mélange art, design, histoire… Pour le moment, l’endroit est encore gardé secret…On sait juste que cela se passera dans le quartier de Shoreditch, à Hoxton.

Tea and Gardens Coffee House

Deux françaises de Londres, Christelle Coulin et Ludivine Baruton, ont eu l’idée de créer aussi leur concept original : le Pop-up Tea Gardens and Coffee House. Pour ce faire, elles ont choisi d’installer leur petit salon de thé dans un endroit différent de Londres, le temps d’un week-end.

Le 18 et 19 aout prochain, leur salon de the éphémère investira The ReUnion, un espace ouvert à différents Pop-ups situe entre Borough Market et Waterloo. On pourra déguster les délices pâtissiers de Gluten Free Delice et les recettes sans gluten de Christelle Coulin dans le cadre champêtre crée pour l’occasion par Ludivine, paysagiste.
