Description | In collaboration with author and architect Shahed Saleem, the pavilion looked at the self-built and often undocumented world of adapted mosques. Through 3D architectural reconstructions, photographs, and filmed interviews from artist Julie Marsh, the installation explored the case studies of Old Kent Road mosque, housed in a former pub; the Brick Lane mosque, a former Protestant chapel then Synagogue; and Harrow Central mosque, a purpose-built space that sits next door to the converted semi-detached houses it used to occupy. |
