RIBA North: Roaming Britain: an evening with the curator and contributors
Date: 18.6.26
Time: 18:30 - 20:30
Location: RIBA North, 21 Mann Island, Liverpool Waterfront, Liverpool, L3 1BP
Join RIBA to celebrate our latest exhibition, Roaming Britain, with a conversation between the curator and key contributors.
Our latest exhibition at RIBA North, Roaming Britain: Gypsy and Traveller Homes, explores how Gypsy and Traveller communities create and shape their homes through art, stories, and poetry. Led by community voices, the exhibition challenges widespread misconceptions, highlights the continued discrimination faced by communities, and showcases the creativity, ingenuity, and resilience involved in making and sustaining home.
To celebrate the exhibition opening, we’re excited to be joined by four of the artists and campaigners commissioned for the exhibition: founder of ‘Pride of Romany’ Charmaine Abdul Karim, Romani artist Corrina Eastwood, Irish Traveller architect Darren Ward, and seventh-generation Showman, Sheldon Chadwick.
In conversation with exhibition curator, Lauren Alderton, the speakers will discuss their creative practice and advocacy work, and reflect on questions of making home, identity, resilience and legacy that the exhibition explores.
There will be a drinks reception and chance to see the exhibition from 6.30pm and a roundtable conversation from 7pm.
This event is free, but capacity is limited. Please RSVP here to reserve your place.
