Monika Szolle has been Alice Billing House’s photographer-in-residence for 2024.

On Saturday 21 September 2024, Alice Billing House had its first Open Studios. We welcomed over 70 visitors who enjoyed perusing the studios or our resident artists as well as joining our community stitch project The Supper Cloth.

Over 3 weeks in September, we ran our community stitch art project, The Supper Cloth. A collaborative piece of embroidery art created by the residents of Newham.

On 23 August 2024, Ayebainemi Abieyuwa ése’s (they/them) held a somatic workshop that explored how our identities can displace us from our local surroundings and communities and how we can create tools of resistance that help us transmute that loss and grief.

Find out about the artist behind the new window panels in the North Block as well as the history and future plans of Alice Billing House.

We invite artists and creative practitioners to apply to be part of our artist-in-residency programme this October, to mark Black History Month 2024, where the artist will facilitate artistic responses to a speculative archive project.

Andy Mac Manus, a local Newham artist and designer has been part of Grow Studios’ artist-in-residency programme at Alice Billing House in Stratford in which he designed, created, and installed original artwork for the windows of the building.

We’re inviting people to sit down, slow down, and feed their creativity through stitching and co-creating a communal piece of embroidered art!
