Exhibition HOPE officially opens this evening!
Since November 2017 Sheila has been working with a group of people who regularly work, volunteer and play at Battersea Arts Centre to co-curate and display a collection of objects and ephemera from the Wandsworth Collection (which BAC are now custodians of). The Exhibition is a scratch - a first go at seeing what such an activity means... to the building, to those involved, to the people who visit... Give us your feedback! Let us know what you think!

EXHIBITION HOPE
BAC Moving Museum & Sheila Ghelani
Journey with us through the Old Town Hall building as we explore what ‘Hope’ means to us today, using stories and objects from our borough’s past.
This is a BAC Moving Museum Scratch project, using the Wandsworth Collection to see how our past might speak to the future.
Pick up a map from the Battersea Arts Centre foyer to follow our trail.
Exhibition HOPE is created by Joanna, Federica, Lainie, Zeba, Lucy, Bethany, Sofia, Sheila, Peter W and Peter H, who all have a relationship with Battersea Arts Centre, ranging from being regular volunteers on our HLF heritage programmes, attendees of the Create Course, the Elders Dance Class, the Young Producer Programme, to being a member of staff team.
Created in Collaboration with Artist Sheila Ghelani
Supported by Museums Association Transformers, Arts Council England and HLF funding
