Art That Made Us Festival: Damian Clarke
Welcome to the Art That Made Us Festival, an exciting partnership between museums and the BBC. This festival coincides with the broadcast of a major new TV series exploring our creative history. All events partnered with the festival will explore the spark of creativity using items in the collection.
To celebrate the festival, the Horniman is hosting free musical performances by musician and storyteller, Damian Clarke. Damian will perform original music on the hammered dulcimer and hurdy-gurdy. This will include music inspired by the Horniman collection.
Don’t miss this very special free and informal gig. Everyone welcome.
