| Description | On 21st March 2023, 'Virtual Assembly' opened to the public in Ambika P3, the exhibition showcased a series of immersive architectural models depicting the former Old Kent Road Mosque in Southwark. These models were brought to life through large-scale projections, offering an interactive experience for the audience. Alongside the exhibition, the opening event was accompanied by an artist talk with Julie Marsh and a panel discussion with members of Old Kent Road Mosque congregation and technical partner David Scott (Fabrication Lab at the University of Westminster), chaired by architect and curator Shahed Saleem. The exhibition was to provide feedback on a series of architectural models as part of the 'Virtual Assembly ' project. These prototypes were brought to life through large-scale projections, offering an interactive experience. The exhibition opening attracted over 60 members of the congregation who eagerly explored the interactive models and provided valuable feedback and responses to the work. As one congregation member commented: “My son has never had the experience of walking into this mosque. It’s heart-breaking from a certain perspective but this artwork will keep it alive for years and years and years to come. So, they can see where we came from and what we experienced and hopefully we can build on those strong memories and bonds for our kids and the future mosque”. |
