We Wear Heritage

This exhibition held at the Brent Civic Centre, brings together heritage, personal stories and offered a powerful perspective on the cultural traditions of Brent’s diverse communities.

I was first provided with photographs taken from a fashion show held at London Fashion, where 12 community organisations showcased their traditional garments and attire.

After editing 100's of photos I then curated designed and installed this photographic exhibition. As it's a public space that is heavily used on a daily basis I had to think about making as much impact as possible and to utilise as much space as possible while still admiring to the health and safety rules of the council.

I also works with Róisín Henman-Kyle to make colouring sheets of some of the hero photos that where used during workshops held in the space.

Due to popularity the exhibition that was originally supposed to run for 6 weeks was extended to 3 months.

“Pete understood exactly what I was looking for in his designs. He listened to my ideas, asked questions about what I was trying to accomplish and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

His designs captured the attention of thousands of viewers taking our public footfall to unprecedent levels. I thoroughly delighted with the results; Pete went beyond my expectations!”
