The People's Palace of Possibility
*28 June – 14 July 2024*
*Wednesday – Sunday*
*11am – 4pm*
The Palace is an outdoor installation which asks how we find energy for the future, despite the fear and anger we feel today. It is about our desire to escape, and the urgent need to do something radically different.
The Palace travels around the country and it’s always growing. Right now it has a radio station, a kitchen, a pantry, and an escape hatch. The Palace is added to and animated by people wherever it goes. At DGLAM it will host live music,
live radio stations, feasts, and lots more!
Join us for a meal, a conversation, and a howl of rage this summer.
You can explore the installation every Wednesday – Sunday, 11am – 4pm. Or check out their full listings of events, including street parties, shared meals, and performances and book tickets on the Palace website. [
