A new digital artwork by local artist Comfort Adeneye in partnership with Bexley Archives.  The final piece will be presented as a large scale outdoor projection.

Commemorating Bexley Borough's 60th anniversary with a celebration of light, focusing on the spirit of freedom found in play.

This ephemeral projected montage is a display of flickering archival images in a fragmented style that aims to show how experience can feel scattered, but history gives it shape. Capturing how spaces change over time while joy always remains, 60 Years: Play Perseveres honours the outdoor culture of play that transcends generations.

The artwork will be shown as the sky turns dark at Danson House as part of the Christmas Market event on 13 and 14 December.
