This edition was produced to mark the end of Jessie Brennan’s residency on Pelican housing estate which borders the South London Gallery. In spring 2017 Jessie Brennan launched YOUR WORDS, a project that invited residents from Pelican to share their experiences of life on the estate. Their stories were then transformed into large and small-scale temporary installations across Pelican. To mark the end of the project Jessie presented WE ARE HERE, a text installation on the roof of Heron House and a poster publication distributed to residents, which documented some of the conversations, contributions and research developed over the course of the project.
