This Summer London's cultural heartland will host nine days of a one-off celebration of art, music, science, literature and acrobatics on Exhibition Road.
ROAD SHOW will bring a wealth of creativity to the capital inspired by the prestigious institutions that flank the diamond-paved concourse, from the awe-inspiring laboratories of the Science Museum to the enlightening collection at the V&A. New commissions, live events, scientific experiments and discussions will all converge to populate a 'landscape of wonder' commissioned by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Everything from a pop-up ballroom to a one man alien band will appear on customised trailers that materialise in various locations throughout the day, hosting performers specially selected to delight or surprise.
ROAD SHOW will provide a place for Londoners and visitors alike to unwind and recharge during London 2012 with games from the vintage collection at the V&A or readings from ROAD STORIES, a compendium of specially commissioned short stories by well-known authors.
The Olympic and Paralympic Games are among the world’s highest profile youth festivals and as such, the ROAD SHOW programme is showcasing emerging artists, scientists, thinkers and musicians.
