What does Power mean to you? Is it something you have? Is it something you do? How is it made? How does power reside in people, in objects, and in institutions? Is there good power or bad power? 

We invite you to consider the ways in which objects can illustrate, and embody the power of emotions, of nature, of technology, of protest, of state profiling, of heritage, and of place. This is an invitation to consider the value of objects and collections in not only teaching us about important ideas, but also in making the world we live in together.

This includes new, creative and personal pieces from the Curating Power Collective, a group of young Londoners who have been exploring and reclaiming what makes them feel powerful.

Open to the public Wednesday afternoons 2 - 5pm, the first Saturday of the month at 11am - 4pm, or by appointment.
