DUST IT OFF: A COLLECTION OF CULTURE
In a time where we may be unable to access arts and culture in the same way, we aim to bring stories of the past, present and future off of our dusty bookshelves and cluttered desktops and bring them to life in a new digital realm. Dust off your favourite books, poems and scripts, or pull out your own work for a reading. This event will give new written work in GoldDust a chance to be performed by actors from the Goldsmiths Theatre & Performance Department. Come along and join us for an evening of new works, created, published and performed by Goldsmiths Students and Alumni.
