Life in the Woods

As part of Loughborough University’s contemporary arts programme, Radar, are screening a film put together by students and funded by the Arts Council at Loughborough Library on Monday 20th February 6.30pm.

This was a collective exercise in communal living, an experiment which was documented by the people taking part. Local poet Mark Goodwin has also been involved in the project.It’s a free event so please let friends and family know.
