Name: Orly Orbach Title: Rehearsed Futures: Supplementary school performances in and beyond the Museum of London These drawings are of London-based Supplementary Schools children from transnational backgrounds, preparing to perform on a museum stage. Performance is conceptualized as a practice of return through which remote places continue to resonate in the children’s minds. Their parents’ home countries are revisited imaginatively and in actuality through touring performances. |

Name: Robert Deakin Title: Motorcycle in Repose: 4 Images of the Pre-Regenerated Aberfeldy Estate Sometime in the late 1990s, James Watters – a life-long resident of Poplar, east London – took a walk around his local neighbourhood with a disposable camera. He photographed ordinary things which, in the context of the current comprehensive redevelopment of his estate, evoke his conflicting feelings about the changes taking place. |

Name: Alexandra D’Onofrio In order to explore the imagination in/forming their experience of migration, three Egyptian men who crossed the Mediterranean illegally to reach Italy, produced these animations for our collaborative research. The animations show how their experience and memory were created by the interdependent relationship between reality and the imagination of the places they imagined to reach. |
