A big thank-you to everyone who showed up to support our exhibition launch + short artist talk on Friday! 🗣
@amaalsaid 's film Open Country follows a Somali mother and daughter who set out from their London home along Old Kent Road, tracing the Pilgrim's Way into Bexley, North Kent, and beyond.
The daughter plans to record an audio cassette diary for her grandmother, who is back home in Somalia and in ill health. Hoping to ease her mother's worries, she uses the journey to bring joy and help her focus on the road ahead. 🏞🔊
