OUTPOST is turning 20!
OUTPOST at 20 celebrates 20 years of OUTPOST as East Anglia’s oldest artist-led space. This 10-week exhibition, selected by OUTPOST’s committee, acted as an archive to revisit the 165 exhibitions, diverse residencies, events and studio activity over the last 2 decades.
Reflecting on our 20th Birthday, the exhibition highlighted the importance of artist-led and DIY arts spaces, as well as looking at the 60+ volunteers who have championed and led OUTPOST during their 2 year tenures on the organisation’s rolling steering committee.
Street Party

OUTPOST threw a Street Party to celebrate our 20th birthday. Thank you to everyone who joined us for an evening of guest speakers, a double bill film screening, art, book stalls and food vending.

Film Screening Double Bill
what?
As part of the OUTPOST Street Party, there was a double bill film screening of Tenants in Revolt and Zone à Défendre at 7.30pm and 8.15pm. These two film were selected by Caracol Books, a volunteer-run and not-for-profit radical bookshop and education project based in Norwich, UK.
Tenants in Revolt (21mins) is a piece of archival film from the British Film Institute depicting the efforts of the Stepney Tenants Defence league in East London. Zone à Défendre (14mins) is a contemporary documentary about the fight against an airport development in France.
These two films are different in many ways. One is set in Britain, the other in France. One is urban, the other rural. One is about immediate daily conditions, the other about the shape of our shared future. Despite these seemingly expansive divides, they are connected in their representation of communities.
