THE NEXT GENERATION
Inspired by the ‘Beckenham Arts Lab’ Bowie himself founded with his friends in 1969, the house offers the chance for local school children to co-curate the project, helping shape how future visitors experience the house.
“Creativity grows when everyone has a part to play.”
There have been song-writing sessions, skills training and creative workshops, design work and ceramics, even tea chest basses and home-made guitars - musical instruments inspired by Bowie’s early experiments. We’ve been moved by children’s passion to embrace community, collaboration and artistry, building on Bowie’s legacy. We’re excited for what’s to come.
