1. Watermans – Wanderings Exhibition 

About: In Summer 2022, Creative People & Places Hounslow's Visual Arts Programme invited four artists to explore and map Hounslow's unique, shifting geography.  

Using the act of wandering as a starting point, the works in this exhibition document each artist's route through parts of the borough. The artists also used the library's local studies archives for inspiration, finding rich source materials in the collections of maps, newspapers, books and photographs that have been collected over time. 

The resulting works include photography, text, collage, sound and digital work that has been created on site in Hounslow. The works are original, contemporary responses to Hounslow using a range of media and processes. 

Where: 40 High St, Brentford TW8 0DS  

Price: Free
