          LOA: Art Space as Safe Space

           

          On the 20th March, LOA offered up the unoccupied gallery space for medical workers to avoid commuting and allow self-isolate. An NHS reproduction nurse was newly reallocated to the Homerton hospital moved into the gallery on the 2nd April.

          In her words:

           

          'Thank you so very much again, honestly I can’t tell you what a relief it has been coming back to rest after shift without having to worry about my beautiful housemates getting poorly. I am very comfortable here! '

          She also made us a card on her way out.

          LOA OPEN CAll finalist Maria Mahfooz  

          Exhibition 27 March - 2 April 24/7, 2020. Live stream 5-6 pm daily.
