This outdoor exhibition brings together different voices, memories, personal histories and shared experiences through a central soundscape. Using storytelling to explore the everyday, familiar and obscure sounds of Hounslow. Developed in collaboration with the local community, the work invites viewers to listen and tune into the rhythms and tones that shape how we move, connect and remember our environments.

Experience the power of connection, the beauty of tension, and the force of human spirit. Orb is an ethereal dance duet that ignites the cosmos, exploring the tension between connection and distance.

ROOTS TO RISE
Blending folk and contemporary movement with Indian classical dance, Roots to Rise follows three women, each absorbed in the chaos of their own world, on their journey back to the land and the stories written in the stars. Together they reconnect with the earth, ancestral wisdom, and to the futures emerging on the horizon, celebrating freedom, resistance and community.

UMBRA
Meaning ‘shadow’ in Latin, Umbra, is a trio, which looks at the light and darkness within us. The piece explores what we hide and what we reveal, and how behaviour changes depending on who we are with. Fast paced and dynamic, yet delicate and sensitive, Umbra is an invitation to pause and understand ourselves better.
