Hackney Wicked - a-n The Artists Information Company

Artists will be opening their studios to the public over the weekend, despite this year’s Hackney WickED Art Festival being cancelled.

The organisers of the annual Hackney WickED Festival in East London have announced that the event will not be going ahead this year due to spiralling costs – but that the community interest company will continue to work with artists in London and beyond.

Artist Rosie Emerson has created the world’s largest cyanotype photograph – measuring over 46 square metres – as part of the Hackney WickED Art Festival.

Hackney WickED returns for its sixth incarnation in seven years – this time with Arts Council England funding.

After a break last year for the Olympics, the sixth edition of the Hackney WickED Art Festival takes place this weekend in London’s East End. We talk to the people who make it happen.
