Background to Salon

Salon is a collaboration between celebrated writer and artist Rachel Lichtenstein and the arts organisation, Metal. These nights have been inspired by the informal gatherings once held at Rachel’s grandparent’s house, on the nearby Chalkwell Hall estate, when they would invite the poets, writers and artists of the pre-war Jewish East End to talk debate and share ideas in their tiny front room.

We will be packing the drawing room of the former manor house that now houses Metal, to hear some outstanding authors and creative thinkers talk about their work.

METAL



Metal was founded by Jude Kelly OBE in 2002 and was created as an artistic laboratory to champion the need for continual investment in artistic investigation and the development of innovative ideas that could shift the thinking in the UK cultural sector.

We provide innovative, multi-disciplinary residency space for artists from the UK and overseas in Liverpool and Southend on Sea.  

Alongside providing space for artists and thinkers to develop their ideas and further the philosophy of their work, we are interested in how this artistic process, and the practice of artists can input into, and potentially influence political and social issues of the day.

Through our artistic programme we draw out evidence and ideas for a better understanding of the artist’s role in civic life, and ensure that these are shared with a wide and diverse set of partners. 

These ideas are showcased and disseminated on a regular basis through residencies, exhibitions, events, performance, discussion and publications.
