Blood, Sweat & Tears
A Special Event of the 571 LOCAL the People’s Program Exhibition
As part of Open For Art 2026 @thejellyreading
This year The Engine Room turns 10 on 2.7.2026
To mark this moment, join us to delve deep into our archive—of new work, of process, and of ideas not yet dreamt up. It will be both retrospective and speculative: a space to reflect, and a space to imagine forward.
The programme will unfold across a series of shared experiences. We will hold feasts, we will dance, we will plant seeds in an inch of soil.
Drawing rooms will open as intimate spaces for conversation and collective thinking—places where ideas can be sketched, tested, and held in common.
This is both a reflection and a provocation: an invitation to honour the labour, creativity, and collective energy that have brought us here—and to imagine what comes next.
