Join us for an evening celebrating the work created by artist-in-residence Sam Ikhuoria, studio holders Frames of Mind and local residents. A collective response to Alice Billing, Newham's first female Inspector of Nuisances (1897-1930), and the last sixty years of the historic building named after her. 

‘Inspector of Nuisances’ was the official job title for sanitation inspectors in the 19th century. Alice Billing provided vital advocacy for working women and well-being in an environment of male officials and deprivation.

The projected installation features playful and personal stop-frame animations and digital media produced during creative community workshops. The work explores themes inspired by the Alice Billing story; women’s health, equal rights and social change.

Sam Ikhuoria, a Newham Artist, will be exhibiting the work he produced during his artist-in-residence, which he completed in July. The work responds to the multifaceted uses of Alice Billing House over the last 60 years, from former fireman's accommodation to a homeless shelter, to environmental health council offices, to a film set.
