Kettle's Yard, Castle Street, Cambridge, CB3 0AQ

Who

Join us on 4 November when Parker will display the children's artwork throughout Kettle’s Yard, for one day only.

Against the backdrop of our present climate reality, and supported by teaching staff, around 800 children will respond to Parker’s 2023 film THE FUTURE (Sixes and Sevens) by drawing a picture of what they want to be when they grow up and writing a short letter (to whomever they choose – whether a person in power, a teacher, or their future selves) describing their hopes for their future.

On 4 November, these letters and drawings will occupy Kettle’s Yard, offering a poignant insight into how the next generation imagines and questions the future. Visitors will also have the chance to watch a number of short films including THE FUTURE (Sixes and Sevens) at Kettle’s Yard and offer their own responses through a free drop-in workshop.

More information and timings to follow.

A new poster accompanies Cornelia Parker’s project and is available from the Kettle’s Yard shop.
