MIDNIGHT SAMRA

Midnight Samra is an exhibition aimed at inspiring a more inclusive space for women at night on Edgware Road. The exhibition took place from April 17th to April 26th in the Subway Gallery, located in an underpass beneath the Edgware Road. It presented in particular the voices of women from the Mosaic Community Trust Group, who expressed their hopes and concerns for the future of the area while also celebrating its unique identity and underlying potential.
For the launch event on April 16th, the underpass was transformed into a night garden, blooming from the Subway Gallery. Visitors were invited to celebrate in the space with music and food as they re-imagined the potential of the underpass.
Sponsored by The Edgware Road Partnership and supported by The City of Westminster and Transport for London, this project ultimately seeks to explore how narrative environments can transform public spaces to be more inclusive of female ‘voices’.
