Seven Days In Seven Dials

Seven Days in Seven Dials from Richard Vobes on Vimeo.

A temporary exhibition put together by staff from London's major cultural organisations and the team behind the Empty Shops Network's touring project created a unique and special exhibition, Seven Days In Seven Dials; a week in the life of London's Culture Quarters.

With thirty staff from nine of London's leading arts and cultural organisations, half a dozen artists and an audience of thousands - there's a lot being said about Seven Days In Seven Dials - so this page is a gateway to Flickr slideshows and YouTube videos, personal blogs and professional podcasts.
