COOLTAN ARTS LARGACTYL SHUFFLE: SUMMER SOLSTICE MIDNIGHT
WALK
Saturday 21 June
Sat 11.45pm at Tate Modern,  Bankside; free; donations
welcome
Join CoolTan Arts Largactyl Shuffle on a 4.8-mile
psychogeographic journey to explore explore the city and its
hidden stories and wonder on the shortest night of the year.
The walk starts outside the turbine hall entrance of Tate
Modern at 11.45pm on Saturday night and ends at the Maudsley
Hospital in Camberwell at about 5am on Sunday. In many
cultures the summer solstice has traditionally been a night
for mystery and magic, when the forces of nature are at
their most powerful, and the boundaries between the physical
and spiritual world are at their thinnest. The walk will
examine London's famous night walkers and their
inspirations, the connection between city living and
anxiety, the 'mad' buildings of Southwark, and surrealist
art and artists. Last year's walk attracted 100+
participants and was a fun and enjoyable night for all.
