Ladies of Waterloo Bridge by @joymiessi . Southbank Center. Photograph by Kevin Lake @tate | Tuesday we got to go to our very first film test screening. We can’t say anything about it yet as it hasn’t been released. It is most frustrating as D and I agreed, it was the best films we’ve seen in a long time. But on our way to the Curzon we stopped by Foyles and got to see LDN WMN, a gem of an exhibition featuring some artists we had the chance to cross path with such as Joy and Julia @voglart . The project originated as a series of eye-catching public artworks across London created by women and non-binary artists in 2018, inspired by unsung women heroes from the city’s history. How did we missed this??? For instance thanks to Joy we learned that London’s Waterloo Bridge is also known as the Ladies Bridge in remembrance of the women who helped to rebuild it during WWII! That area holds so much good memories for David starting way back in the late 70’s. It’s where his children grew up, where he earned his stripes as an ‘impresario vicar’, where he got to be a ‘turbulent priest’ offering evidence at the famous 1980’s Coin Street public inquiry against the land grab by private companies, where he welcomed Her Majesty the Queen for the opening of St John’s Crypt as a dedicated space to support the rehabilitation of single homeless people and much more! And today it is also the place where we get to recharge our batteries with hope and fun thanks to the good vibes brought by the dance for Dementia group at @rambertdance , and also by the community theatre project #PublicActs at the @nationaltheatre . It was also the place where we were deeply moved and inspired by all the Rebels and the urban oasis they created during the occupation of the bridge by the #extinctionrebellion movement earlier this year. David and I moved a lot in our lifetime. I picked up a flyer about a play by Thunder Troupe that says: Home is where your heart finds piece, wherever that is. That’s it! Right there, we found our home. What’s best is that we share it with so many wonderful things and people! 💚💙💜❤️ #thanks4remembering #davidjackwickertandme #behindeverygreatcity #thegalleryatfoyles (at Waterloo Bridge) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByrkzSmH0nJ/?igshid=1gb8tjuvf65pd
