6pm–8pm
Free – book via Eventbrite

Join us for a private view and panel discussion at the Migration Museum, exploring the themes of Inside/Outside and All In Between, a community curated exhibition featuring local artists with a connection to Lewisham.

The event will include a live performance from artists featured in the exhibition, as well as refreshments that represent and celebrate the cultures of our Community Curators.

“As migrants, we often find ourselves navigating between the internal journey of identity and belonging (Inside) and the external realities of settlement and integration (Outside). We have private and public selves and conflicts that arise from switching between these identities.” – Community Curators

The Community Curators will share their process of exhibition-making, exploring the methods involved in co-production and co-curation at the Migration Museum (and beyond). Artists will be invited to share more about their work and practice, and the discussion will delve into the complex dynamics of migration and displacement, exploring the potential conflicts, parallels, blends and transformative journeys between the public and private spheres, the external and internal dimensions of ‘home’, outward expression and inner states of being, memory and imagined self/future, struggling with and/or embracing a new culture and identity… and much more.

The exhibition features responses by artists working across diverse mediums, including film, photography, poetry, painting, collage and more. All of the works in the exhibition were submitted via an open call-out inviting artists with a deep connection to Lewisham to respond to the exhibition themes.
