We are delighted to have been able to realise this remarkable participatory work by Araeen on The Line in July.
The 'Discosailing' short film offers a wonderful perspective, reflection and insight into the piece as it unfolded this summer:

We have taken the difficult decision to cancel tomorrow’s performance of Rasheed Araeen's 'Discosailing: A Ballet On Water' in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park @noordinarypark
The nature of programming art outdoors includes navigating various factors beyond our control. Despite our best efforts to anticipate conditions, we have been advised that due to the level of sewage outflows into the river, it is not safe for this event to proceed.
Our Centre for Creative Arts, Cultures and Engagement teamed up with @TheLineLondon to bring you an evening of discussion and exchange, considering the unique role that public art plays in cities like London.
