DULWICH PICTURE GALLERY X SHORTWORK

“The past for the present” is a collaborative project exploring how Dulwich Picture Gallery can make its collection more accessible to local people. Community researchers trained by Shortwork went out into the boroughs served by the gallery to talk to members of the community and collate their thoughts and feedback. I was brought onto the project to turn the feedback into an illustrated map, which was presented at the gallery in february 2023.
