The Places We Carry

The Places We Carry

A collective art exhibition and a community programme that I curated and designed in collaboration with Grand Junction’s team to engage with Londoners and local residents with cultural heritage from the Middle East and North Africa.

This exhibition combines different art mediums, narrating the unique journeys, evolving identities, and hidden histories of places and people, through the eyes of local residents. Showing Art Pieces and Written Stories by:

Jenan Ghatim, Helen Leila Alazhar, Rehab Maghribi, Nabilah Abdulfaraj, Lina Alchami, Ali A. Al-shimar, Adam Farhat, Miriam Addada, Nasrin Trabulsi, Nahid Poladi, Phayaphi Alkhayoon, Rami Bassam, Mariam Bassam, Cassia Clarke, Zineb Dinia, Manas Ghanem, and Najlaa El-Ageli.
