A
event
on Saturday 5th April. The event starts at 16:30.
Whiplash Memorial is a poetic reflection on the shifting histories of North Kensington, exploring the intersection of memory, architecture and belonging. At the core of the project lies the Westway flyover - a towering, brutalist structure that has long fascinated Ferguson. This raised section of the A40 cuts through the heart of North Kensington, passing his childhood home on one side and the shadow of Grenfell Tower on the other. The project is a cryptic love letter to a flyover and the community beneath it, weaving together personal and collective histories.
Max Ferguson will be discussing the ideas behind the exhibition, in conversation with IC Visual Lab. Join us for an expansive discussion, covering themes of architecture, memory, photography and belonging.
