An exhibition created with community members in Burnt Oak and the surrounding areas, exploring ideas and thoughts on freedom through personal stories and shared histories.

Weaving together the past and the present this exhibition looks at the journey of resilience, care and solidarity within these communities.

Through the mediums of photography, archival materials and sound installation, this exhibition brings together a rich tapestry of experiences and local voices.

Commissioned by artsdepot, To Us It Means is curated by photographer Bettina Adela and sound artist Brigitte Adela. It is part of Our Freedom: Then and Now, a nationwide programme marking the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War.

Share your thoughts about freedom – find out how to be part of the exhibition. We invite you to send photos and voice recordings by Midnight on Thu 9 Oct.
