Modern Nature, narated by Rupert Everett, is Derek Jarman’s chronicle of life in his remote cottage on the barren coast of Dungeness in the years after his HIV diagnosis. Facing an uncertain future, Jarman found solace in nature, growing all manner of plants.
Originaly broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in June 2019, Modern Nature is available to listen to in full until September 2020.
Wellbeing Manager Louise Thompson is offering a weekly mindfulness session, starting here with a gentle introduction to what mindfulness actually is.
During its 250-year lifespan Platt Hall has been a domestic house, an art school, a police headquarters, a tea room, accommodation for European refugees, a work camp for WW1 conscientious objectors and, from 1947-2017, the Gallery of Costume, the world’s first dedicated museum of dress.
Now it’s changing again. Platt Hall Inbetween is a project to explore what the Hall’s next chapter could be. Visit www.platthall.org or @mag_platthall for project updates, collection stories, and an enchanting peep behind the scenes.
