On Wednesday 11 June we held a screening for residents at Appleby Blue of Sandi Hudson Francis’ film Portrait of an Almshouse, a record of a community and their home at a time of change. Over 18 months 2022-2023 the artist visited Edward Edwards House, attending the weekly knitting club and chatting over tea in residents’ flats as the moving date approaches. The film gently documents the lives, histories and relationships within this South London community and their echo in the gradually emptying flats and garden.
