Over the past year, Grand Junction has collaborated through workshops with the community local to our venue, exploring and celebrating the rich heritage of Londoners from the Middle East and North Africa. The Places We Carry exhibition showcases the result of these inspiring encounters and narrates the unique journeys, evolving identities, histories of places and people, and the shared experiences of the local residents.

The exhibition will also include a participatory art installation in a reflective space curated for Palestine, Sudan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, and Lebanon, where visitors are invited to contribute.
