The 'Us Lot' exhibition

Westminster City Hall’s Community Gallery will be hosting The 'Us Lot' Exhibition until 28 August 2024. The exhibition will be free and open from 10am until 5pm, Monday to Friday.

Headway East London is a brain injury charity based in Hackney, offering long-term support to over 700 people living with brain injury, their families and carers, from 13 London boroughs, including Westminster.

The exhibition kicks off with 'Us Lot', a striking installation showcasing self and mutual portraits by Headway members. Artworks range from Errol Drysdale's self-portrait, which proudly places his wheelchair atop a pedestal, to David Keen's poem, with each piece delving into themes of brain injury, disability, and the journey to recovery.

The final art installation is a dazzling and sea-like series of ceramics by Terrance Barr. Titled, Neural Reef Series, it draws connections between the human brain and coral reefs. We recommend watching (Terry) What I am to see the full scale of the creative process and meaning behind the installation.  

The team are looking forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback. Feedback forms will be made available in the exhibition space, and you can also leave comments and feedback on our online form.
