On the May Bank Holiday weekend (29-31 May) we will be equipping the park users of Wandle Park, Colliers Wood with MP3 players and sending them on a walk round the park.

About the project.

Bending and borrowing the conventional form of the tourist’s audio guide, performance collective Present Attempt creates a bespoke 15-minute audio guide for Away Day. Generated from interviews and conversations with the local community and incorporating ephemeral performance acts and unsuspecting occurrences, the guide is made through the lens of the networks present in the park.

Part of the Away Day festival where over 20 artists present new works as POST returns to Merton in south London with Away Day. Engaging with suburban spaces of leisure, Away Day is a series of site-specific artworks for three public parks: Mostyn Gardens in Morden, Wandle Park in Colliers Wood and Ravensbury Park in Mitcham. Diverse interventions, performances and temporary artworks accost visitors with imagined alternative realities and new mappings of these spaces during weekends in May and June.
