Southend-on-Sea in Transition

The next ‘What if’ event will be held on Monday 16th June upstairs at The Railway Hotel from 7 – 9. Our theme this month will be the dialogue between the present, the past and the future, and will feature ‘Reels of Resilience’ presented by our special guest James Taylor. This is a film show of archival documentaries from the 1930s and 1940s, encouraging the audience to find parallels between then and now. It will be more than just a film show, encouraging the audience to both observe and interact with the material, which shows ordinary people creatively adapting and responding to change and inspiration, and how these can speak to us now with the different challenges that we face.
