Thank you to all who joined us last week for the opening of Discover, Celebrate, Grow - it was really fun celebrating the hidden stories and heritage of the Devonshire Ward 🏠🥔
A neighbourhood can be read in many ways: through its stories and memories, its sounds and images, its buildings and the traces left by the people who live here and the people who visit.
The exhibition is a collection of work made with and by people across Devonshire Ward, on the allotments, out in the street, in public space and in workshops. Each piece is its own way of noticing and recording the area: its architecture and everyday life, what people see and the sounds they hear.
More than 300 people have contributed so far. Together, their hands and imaginations offer a layered portrait of the neighbourhood, and different ways of seeing, hearing and understanding it.
The exhibition continues until 20 February 2026, with a winter break in January. Public programme to be announced shortly.
Made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players. With support from the John Jackson Charitable Trust.
Devonshire Collective is an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation.
