Summer 2024

We will be hosting a major exhibition of community photographs of Lower Marsh and the surrounding area. This will give locals and visitors alike the chance to take a walk down memory lane as they look at photographs from the area from the 1960s/70s, hung in the shop windows that now embody Lower Marsh.

As Lambeth now hosts the country’s largest Ukrainian community, we are planning a linking cultural exchange project with an exhibition of stills from Ukraine archive footage of theatre and street life; also exhibited in and around the Lower Marsh Area. There is tremendous value in understanding the community and its heritage in these terms. Photography of Ukraine’s past – the working street, the everyday and the theatre as part of that will be a significant contribution. It is an important reminder for all members of the community to revisit Ukrainian photography that is not simply about tanks and bombsites.
 

Community programme: 

We will be working with a group of volunteers to create an audio guide for the exhibition, featuring interviews with people who remember the area as it was in the 1960s. This will feature interviews from those who remember the area as well as those who live there now. We will also invite local schools to visit the exhibition; involve them in photography workshops and encourage them to make their own work in response which will be shared at a community event in September.
