Can an institution hold the people it historically excluded? If so, what would its future look like?  

Following the many efforts to create places for rest, critique and belonging, this UCL Urban Room project reflects on the guidelines set forth by labouring minds and activist missions… wondering, can a space be a manifesto? If so, what would it manifest?  

Installations are bookended by words and held by text, and together with a programme of events invite audiences to look beyond the paper register to consider how sound manifests in space. Creating circles and places to gather invites our bodies to huddle together instead of perch at attention. Using design and interactive installations to connect people in the space, it invites affective responses to how knowledge manifests across generations. 

The exhibition is open Monday-Saturday, 10am-4pm and booking is not required.
