PIN THE PITS

Boothroyd Room, Portcullis House
THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT
Bridge St, Westminster
London, United Kingdom
It's the re-launch of the EDM to get the Pits Pinned.
It's about marking the fruits of men, children and women's labour. The
injuries. The chronic illnesses. The culture. The history. The communities. The
decimation. The demolition. The rejuvenation. The regeneration.
.... The inheritance if rupture. This will also be explored as several young
people will be discussing how the shift from blue collar industries to white
collar services has affected them.
There will also be other guest speakers discussing the campaign.
There will be three short films by Rachel Horne (aka the Foundaing Father). The
films:
Man as Machine
Archive footage revealing the working conditions of coal mining during the
1930s, sound by sonic artist Ryan Jordan, the piece brings polarised worlds
together, referencing our cultural shift from industrial to a technological
society.
The Out of Darkness Light Project
Documents a memorial event in 2006 organised by Rachel Horne marking the 20th
anniversary of the closure of Cadeby Colliery.
Mine the Notion
Documenting the exhibition and talk that took place at the Foundry in 2006,
featuring trade unionist Dave Douglass and poet Dennis Monhangan.
