| Description | 'Virtual Assembly' (2023) is an interactive digital model of Old Kent Road Mosque due to the demolition and redevelopment of their mosque on Old Kent Road in Southwark. In 2018, approval was granted for a six-storey mosque to be built on the site, as both an act of devotion and a practical response to a growing community. Prior to the demolition in 2021, a LiDAR scan of the entire building was made by the Westminster Fabrication Lab, which served as the foundation for an interactive model to house a collection of stories and personal accounts from mosque members. Made in collaboration with the congregation, this interactive model offers innovative ways to engage with the tangible and intangible cultural heritage of London’s oldest Nigerian community during a significant phase of their evolutionary journey. Funded by UKRI and made in collaboration with MANUK (Muslim Association of Nigeria UK), The Fabrication Lab University of Westminster and Untold Garden. |
