Dr Julie Marsh

Faith, Place and Migration at Staffordshire St Gallery - 7 - 17 March 2024

​This multi-media installation will introduce the tangible and intangible cultural heritage of London's oldest Nigerian community, the Old Kent Road Mosque. Through this exhibition, the curators question the nature of a community archive and explore how the narratives of community members are embedded in and told through the architecture of their sacred spaces. This exhibition will feature two expanded moving image installations created by artist Julie Marsh during a five-year collaboration with the Old Kent Road Mosque congregation. 

​The exhibition and event programme was co-curated by Shahed Saleem and Julie Marsh in collaboration with the Old Kent Road Mosque community, which will offer the wider community an opportunity to connect with the congregation through workshops and events such as an Iftar, a meal to celebrate the breaking of fasting during Ramadan.
