MACS x Exhibits App Go To… Romani Exhibition at London Museum Docklands ⚓️

Join MACS & Exhibits App at London Museum Docklands on SUNDAY 18 OCTOBER! ⚓️⛵️

First we’ll head to “By Appointment Only: Romani Art, Culture & Heritage” - a free display showcasing the work of British Romani artists who share their identity and experiences through visual activism.

The exhibition centres around three key works by artists Corrina Eastwood (co-curator of the display), Delaine Le Bas and Dan Turner. Inspired by the trade and industry of London’s Docklands, the artworks honour the livelihoods, creativity and craft of Romani communities and their contribution to British society.

Then we’ll look around the rest of the museum, which is home to nine galleries, each one exploring a different theme of London's river, port and people. There’s even a recreation of the Victorian London docklands that you can walk through, called Sailortown!

About Exhibits: Exhibits is a free app that lists all of London’s exhibitions, museums and galleries in one place, built by two sisters from Peckham, İlayda and Dilara Bakare, who designed and coded it themselves (before AI)! They also run Curiosity Club - Community Group Trips for adults - which involves visiting interesting places, helping people learn new things in a fun way and making likeminded friends in person.
