Opening Night
Thursday 9th September 6pm – 10pm Free 


This week opening Thursday night is Illumini at Shoreditch Town Hall London, Articulating History will be presenting a new installation 'Invictus'.

In 1953, the ancient Roman remains of the Temple of Mithras were discovered on what was once the east bank of the river Walbrook, one of the historic lost rivers of London. Invictus (‘unconquered’) is an installation that incorporates light and movement in the recasting of the rituals and mythological significance of the mystery cult of Mithras as an allegory for the loss and gradual disappearance of London’s lesser known rivers and watercourses. Invictus is thus an expression of transience and ephemerality, a vanitas among the debris and vestiges of classical beliefs and civilisation.
