‘At The Door’ -

18th - 20th July 2025. Safehouse 1, Peckham, London

Step through the door and into conversations about home. Whether we grew up here or moved here, London is our home now—shaped by the people we share it with and the spaces that hold us.

This abandoned family home in Peckham has been waiting, stripped of its homely feel, walls bare and memories faded. For one weekend, we're bringing that warmth back. Through installations and art, we're exploring what home means: the things we carry with us when we leave, the fragments we find in forgotten corners, the way light moves through familiar windows.

Our artists delve into childhood bedrooms, grandparents' houses, Sunday dinners, objects that hold memories, spaces that echo with presence. They explore the particular joy of having your own keys, your own front door, the freedom to paint walls and leave things where you want them. They explore home as both comfort and complicated—a place we long for and sometimes need to escape, built from fragments of the past and hopes for the future.

The works consider: what makes a space feel like home? What do we take with us when we go? How do we rebuild belonging in new places?
