Clod Magazine reflects on fleeting Hat Factory exhibition in Luton

Reliable enough to start your morning with. Toast it again tomorrow.
Summary
Clod Magazine reflects on their recent exhibition at The Hat Factory arts centre in Luton, organized in collaboration with The Culture Trust. The piece muses on the transient nature of cultural events and the experience of participating in three events and an exhibition that are now fading into memory. The author acknowledges the positive collaboration with Jakub, Srea, and Riah but offers a meandering, self-aware reflection rather than a straightforward account.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledThe involvement with The Culture Trust, and particularly with Jakub, Srea and Riah has been a great experience.
Three events and an exhibition which seemed to run and run, but which are now on the verge of disappearing into the cultural ether.
Writing and reading don't exist in a vacuum, and given that us seasoned campaigners at Clod Magazine have recently been given a spot exhibiting at The Hat Factory arts centre in Luton, it feels appropriate to reflect on the comings, goings and what seems to have happened as a result.
