ventaI was just skimming quickly through Londonist, and saw a write-up of an event in Greenwich at the end of the month.
It says:
On 26 and 27 February, the Greenwich-based museum will hold a series of events and debates and workshops in a nod to Yinka Shonibare’s work. [note: Shonibare did the "ship in a bottle" currently on the 4th plinth]
As well as a debate on Trade, empire and contemporary art featuring Shonibare himself, there’s also a discussion about London’s textile culture, screenings of the 1962 film HMS Defiance, and a chance to see the artist’s original maquette.
Best of all, there’ll be a live action origami recreation of the battle of Trafalgar.
Just in case you weren't paying attention and skipped over that last sentence, I'll say it again.
There’ll be a live action origami recreation of the battle of Trafalgar.
How could anyone not want to see that?
Sadly, I shall be in Porthmadog playing with little puffer trains that weekend, but I demand that someone goes along and reports back. Preferably with pictures.
