Open studios & exhibition “Inspector of Nuisances”, artistic responses exploring the building's history
Alice Billing House is one of Newham’s most historic buildings located on Stratford’s High Street. The studios are made up of two blocks, one of which is a Grade II listed building, built in 1905-6 as firefighter’s accommodation for the West Ham Fire Brigade.
Explore the studios of the artists at Alice Billing House, as well as see the work produced for the Newham Heritage Month Project, “Inspector of Nuisances”. The exhibition is a collection of playful and personal responses drawing on themes teased from the Alice Billing Story; women’s health, equal rights and working conditions, using the soon-to-be-renovated North Block as a backdrop.
Sam Ikhuoria, a Newham Artist, will be exhibiting the work he produced during his artist-in-residence, which he completed in July. The work is inspired by the multifaceted uses of Alice Billing House over the last 60 years.
