Under the Westway

City Sea Mag recently visited the Mutate Britain exhibition in Ladbroke Grove, brought to the public by the Mutoid Waste Company started by Joe Rush & Robin Cook in the late seventies. The exhibition lives where the first London graffiti pieces were put up by the original UK pioneer graffiti artists.

Heres a few picaroos for those who wont be there in 3D, we interviewed quite a few of the Mutoids and we’ll be posting excerpts over the following weeks, stay tuned.

Note: The site under the westway has been evolving over the last year or so and has been home to a number of interesting events, before the Mutoids it was Mick Jones and his Rock n Roll Library. Where his personal collection of punk and counterculture memorabilia was on display and in the original D.I.Y spirit the public were allowed to scan, film and photograph all its contents….City sea caught up with some of the people that helped create the Library.

Perviously under the westway was the Portobello Spring Festival, an eclectic outdoor street festival of sorts, performances from 20:20, The Delinquents and Lee Harris & River Styx which was captured on film by filmakers Dawit Smallmoney & JC Kamau.
