Join us for lunchtime walk as we complete a carbon neutral handover of the artwork Early Warning Signs from Central Saint Martins to Peer Gallery.

Early Warning Signs is an ongoing project by British artist Ellie Harrison. Initiated at Two Degrees festival in 2011, the project aims to allow the four rotating 'climate change' signs she produced for the festival to continue to promote their cause long into the future. Each autumn, four new host venues are invited to 'adopt a sign', agreeing to keep it on public display for the following year.

Central Saint Martins adopted a sign on 25 February 2019, the UK's warmest-ever February day. Now on Monday 13 January, the artwork will be transported to its next home at Peer Gallery in Shoreditch. In a carbon neutral handover, we will be carrying the piece by hand to the new venue.

If you would like to join us for the walk, meet in The Street at 12.30pm. All welcome.

Tea and biscuits will be provided!
