Milestone

2009 marked the 10th anniversary of publication of the influential report of the Macpherson Inquiry into the police handling of the Stephen Lawrence case. The exhibition considers two locations: Greenwich, the London borough where Stephen Lawrence lived and was murdered, and Holborn, the legal heart of London. These two locations not only represent the sites of the incident and inquiry, but they also open up a gap between ideas of act and response, local and national, intimate and universal, presentation and representation.

The artists’ works consider the journey between these sites in relation to loss, identity, perseverance, danger, exchange and remembrance. Viewers are invited to undertake the journeys physically or conceptually, becoming journeying subjects in the exhibition.


Exhibiting Artists: Brigit Connolly, Ana-Laura Lopez de la Torre, Ekua McMorris, Graeme Miller, Eduardo Padilha, Claire Palfreyman. Curated by Jack Tan.
