SET 91 Open Series – A PATCH Sunday Salon

About this event

SET 91 continues the Open Series with A PATCH Sunday Salon, an exhibition and live programme led by PATCH, an interdisciplinary collective working across architecture, art and research. Bringing together works by the collective and its members, the exhibition explores diasporic experiences of the city and considers how architecture can be understood through alternative, community-led lenses. The exhibition presents a retrospective of PATCH’s past projects alongside new work currently in development by the collective’s founders. Through sculpture, photography, publications and painting, the programme reflects on themes that have shaped PATCH’s practice to date, from food and the act of holding space to the evolving notion of home. Alongside the exhibition, the programme will include a live talk and Q&A reflecting on some of PATCH’s past projects, as well as a conversational salon returning to themes of home and holding space, asking how diasporic communities can be centred within fast-paced metropolitan environments in ways that are tangible, supportive and meaningful. Why this matters In the context of ongoing gentrification, displacement and urban redevelopment, particularly in London, diasporic and marginalised communities are often disproportionately affected.
