The Migration Museum is opening a new creative community space for people to relax, reflect, showcase artwork, and make opportunities to focus on professional development, innovation and make stronger connections.  The space will showcase the museum’s community engagement values, celebrate diversity, share stories, and platform the creativity of Lewisham’s communities.

We will work with 5 community curators to shape the creative programming of this space in 2024. The curators will support the museum in hosting captivating exhibits and events that feature people who live and create locally, narrating the diverse journeys and experiences of the people in and around the borough. The community curators will work collaboratively to create and carry forward the vision for the space.

The Community Curators will primarily work together to co-curate an exhibition to launch in the new Community Space in September 2024. They will be announcing a call-out for artists to exhibit their work in the upcoming exhibition soon – watch this space.
