The 2 mile seafront walk ends at 12:45 at Electro Studios at the site of Little’s old lido. The ‘walk and talk’ is followed by artists discussions with refreshments served.

Photolanguage (Nigel Green and Robin Wilson) discuss the collaborative process of their research and production of work for East Sussex Modern.
From the site of the lost Lido at St Leonards to the rural landscapes of modern reservoirs, East Sussex Modern is an itinerant return to a regional legacy of modernism, a reinterpretation of physical remains and its archive through image, text, models and neon installation.
