Children from The Brightness of JuJu and The Hundred Club celebrate the launch of their respective publications.
Children aged 6-12, their siblings, parents and carers are invited to take part in a workshop exploring themes of child-led futures, DIY dreaming and environmental musings from The Hundred Club's newspaper WAAAH!, and The Brightness of JuJu, a new publication for children, made by children, and published by TACO!
Join us as we forage in Thamesmead for recycled treasure and transform these into wearable art and pigments, followed by a procession and public Q&A with the authors. Unaccompanied adults are invited to attend the book launch and Q&A.
The Brightness of JuJu tells the story of an island of Thamesmead where only children live, 70 years in the future. A dystopian/utopian world of magic and mystery where children make their own rules, learn about the world, and search for the lost culture they came from. Told through colour poetry, collage, painting and prose, produced by 120 children from Willow Bank and Harris Garrard Primary schools in Thamesmead, together with artists Dunya Kalantery and Rima Patel. You can buy a copy of the book in the TACO! bookshop.
