Iain Sinclair Hackney talk at Southbank Centre
Joined by newspaper columnist and fellow author Will Self, the Iain Sinclair Hackney talk at the Southbank Centre will attempt to capture the spirit and history of this part of east London. Increasingly critical of the ways in which the landscape and character of Hackney is being changed by the building of the Olympic 2012 sports facilities, the talk led by Iain Sinclair looks set to be challenging and refreshing debate.

Film footage
Presenting film footage that has never been seen in public before, the Iain Sinclair Hackney talk at the Southbank Centre aims to convey the special heritage and landscape of this often overlooked London borough. Touching upon the little known history and high profile figures associated with Hackney, you're bound to come away from this evening at the Southbank Centre's Purcell Room with a better appreciation of Hackney and its residents.

The Iain Sinclair Hackney talk at the Southbank Centre starts 7.45pm, Tuesday 17th March 2009. Tickets cost £10.00. For more information and to book tickets, click on the link below.
