A thought provoking guerilla exhibition examining the meaning of Home in a strikingly relevant context.

Home Sweet Home’ is an exhibition of photography and cross-stitch samplers that tell the story of a dispersed community. The community are the residents of the Ferrier, a large housing estate in Kidbrooke, south-east London, which is being gradually demolished to make way for a new development.

With emphasis on the human experience of regeneration, photographer Anna Batchelor has taken portraits of the remaining residents of the Ferrier in the context of the changing estate. For this exhibition Batchelor is fly-posting these portraits back onto the boarded up fronts of the empty houses, relocating the work in the environment in which it was created.

Designer Sarah Colson has fused the craft of cross-stitch embroidery with quotations from Ferrier residents and imagery from the estate’s environment. These pieces are designed to tell the story of the displacement, and exhibited on the emptying estate, these delicate and precise samplers stand in stark contrast to the demolition and chaos.

‘Home Sweet Home’ will officially run from 2nd – 9th October, but the artists’ intend for the images to remain on the estate until the buildings are demolished. Viewing in daylight hours is recommended due to limited light sources.

Private view 2nd October 1.30pm-4.30pm
