Join us to discuss Rooms of Neighbours, an evolving exhibition curated by Ben Broome, unfolding across twelve households on Clifton Crescent, Peckham. Installed within private homes and shared spaces, the project pairs each household with an artist.
At the SLG, two public talks will bring together the artist and participants, offering insight into their collaboration.
ABOUT THE EVENT
On 20 May, join artist Josiane M. H. Pozi and resident Yvette Francis in conversation. Together, they developed a series of drawings representing their connections to people close to them. Created over a three-week period, the drawings chart conversations, visits and messages shared with loved ones.
ABOUT ROOMS OF NEIGHBOURS
Taking inspiration from Jan Hoet’s landmark exhibition Chambres d’amis (Ghent, 1986), Rooms of Neighbours reimagines the domestic exhibition as a living, social process. Rather than centering existing art-world networks, this project takes place within the homes of residents who, by and large, do not regularly visit arts spaces, and whose lives span multiple generations, diasporas and social backgrounds.
Each participating household is matched with an artist whose practice reflects a sensitivity to domestic, social and relational environments. Artists responded to the specific dynamics of each home, creating works that sit within lived spaces far removed from a traditional white-cube context. Beyond its curatorial inquiry, Rooms of Neighbours has had a tangible social impact: neighbours who had lived on the same street for decades met for the first time through taking part.
