INTERNATIONAL ARTS FESTIVAL • YEAR-ROUND EVENTS AT THE THINK TANK • MADE IN IPSWICH


2024 PROJECTS

The ICA Project

The ICA Project revisits the former Ipswich Caribbean Association building on Woodbridge Road through specially commissioned photography, newly collected oral histories, and archival materials made public for the first time. The ICA Memories exhibition at the SPILL Think Tank uncovers and explores the significant cultural and social impact of the ICA; its history, its programmes, and its importance to the many people and groups which used its services and facilities.

MONSTERS |

Andy Field + Beckie Darlington

MONSTERS is a film project made in collaboration with school children from across East Anglia, creating a fictional documentary that will use the familiar tropes of Hollywood monster movies as a way for young people to reckon with ecological change.

Reflections on friend | Gillie Kleiman

In October SPILL and Gillie Kleiman worked with non-professional dancers to create a new dance-piece performed at home. As part of the project, Gillie and SPILL Artistic Director Robin Deacon hosted a Think Tank event where they shared their reflections on the process.
