Basingstoke’s My Home: Local Stories with Global Roots
The Willis Museum and Sainsbury Gallery
16 November 2024 to 23 February 2025
Price: Free (donations welcome)
This community curated exhibition celebrates different cultures and the diversity that makes Basingstoke such a special place to live. Explore the lives of those who shape the community and discover how their contributions benefit the town. Amazingstoke as it is called by those in the know!
The exhibition has been co-curated in partnership with a Community Collective formed as part of the National Lottery Heritage Fund, funded Hunters & Gatherers project. A group of individuals, who hail from a diverse range of backgrounds, ethnicities and professions, have brought a unique perspective to the exhibition. Their lived experiences bring an authentic eye-opening revelation on life and work in the town.
The exhibition features illustrations by commissioned artist Nami Ralph. Her playful work is inspired by the concept of ‘home’ as seen through the eyes of local school children, capturing what Basingstoke means to them.
Basingstoke’s My Home is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
