Blake Society Meeting at Blake's Grave

Arbonauts at the Grave

We gather at Bunhill Fields at noon to mark the life of William Blake who died on Sunday 12 August 1827. By tradition people often read or share a favourite text.
Afterwards you are invited to repair to a local pub for lunch.

This year we will be joined by Arbonauts who are a site-specific performance collective. Intimacy with nature and the metaphysical act within their installations. Arbonauts recently created Aria Arboria - a cantata inspired by William Blake’s poem Love and Harmony. Their reflection on the hallowed dissenters will echo through the
1000 year history of Bunhill Fields.
