About Electric Bloom
Over 200 years ago Hackney was a cultural destination for visitors around the globe, home to London’s textile industry and the largest botanical hothouse in the world from the Loddiges family. Electric Bloom has been exploring this fascinating hidden history by working with the local community and council for over six months, curating workshops across art, film, animation, music, spoken word, textiles and garden design with renowned creatives. The result is an immersive trail on September 12th featuring creative works created by residents and artists, permanent and temporary light installations, the premiere of an original Electric Bloom music composition, lots of Carnival performers and live bands.
