SUMMARY:London Rivers Week 2026: Clean Air Canal art exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Join artist Camilla Brendon at Kindred Studios in West London during London Rivers Week for a FREE\, fantastic art exhibition called ‘Clean Air Canal’. \nIt is open to the public and you are invited to drop in  from Saturday 23 May – Wednesday 27 (inclusive) May during the hours between 12pm-6pm. \nClean Air Canal is an installation made in response to the overlap and coexistence between man-made and nature. The work is made of plastics found in and around the Union Canal\, which is adjacent to Kindred Studios\, where artist Camilla Brendon has made and is showing the work. Air purifying plants have taken root in the installation and are reclaiming the rubbish and drawing harmful man-made materials back to the natural realm. \nPlease join the artist in conversation at 3pm on Saturday May 23rd. \nLocation: The Gramophone Works\, 326 Kensal Road\, W10 5BZ \nMore details about Kindred Studios: https://www.kindredstudios.co.uk/ \nAll U18s must be accompanied by an adult. \n
