Biscuits, photographs, and popular culture converge in an installation that traces unexpected links between everyday objects and imperial histories. 📷️🩷👀

Opening June 6 at our Entrance Wall, 𝘉𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘌𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘦: 𝘙𝘦𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘗𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘩𝘺 pairs archival photographs from Museum London’s collection with artist Zinnia Naqvi’s video installation 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵-𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘉𝘰𝘹.

Moving between archive and home video, the installation unsettles familiar ways of seeing, opening space for complexity, contradiction, and reimagined narratives beyond the colonial frame.

Today is World Meditation Day, a reminder to pause, breathe, and nurture our mental and emotional well-being. 🍃

Art and wellness are deeply connected—both invite us to slow down, notice more, and be present. In creative practice, as in meditation, there’s space to reflect, to feel, and to reconnect with ourselves in new and meaningful ways. Often, our most inspired ideas don’t come from doing more, they emerge when we soften our pace, make room for stillness, and allow new perspectives to take shape.

✨ If you’re feeling called to reconnect with both your creativity and your sense of calm, we invite you to participate in our Guided Meditation for Creatives programming. Blending gentle movement, mindful breathwork, and creative visualization, these experiences are designed to support both inner balance and creative flow.

📅 Saturday, June 27
