INTERSECTIONS EXHIBITION Aug 2024

The Creators

Intersections' is a collaborative exhibition between POC in Architecture and Architecture LGBT+ presented at Corner New Cross. This unique exhibition brings together queer people of colour who are exploring the theme of identity, place, and storytelling in architecture and art.

Through their work, these talented individuals amplify the stories of those who exist at the intersections of multiple identities. By shining a spotlight on these voices, 'Intersections' challenges traditional narratives in the architectural and art world and invite viewers to consider a different perspective. Join us on this journey of discovery and celebration as we explore the rich tapestry of experiences that make up this exhibition.
