‘Humans of Hammersmith & Fulham 2020’ is a unique photo exhibition tour presented by United in Hammersmith & Fulham. The new charity hopes that it will take away prejudice and exclusion, and inspire belonging, discussion and sharing.
The exhibition, which is open to view for free at the Lyric Theatre in Hammersmith, was launched at a reception attended by many of the ‘Humans’ themselves – including campaigner for unaccompanied child refugees, and Patron of United, Lord Alf Dubs. He said:
“Congratulations to United for such a wonderful exhibition. It’s wonderful to see so many local people recognised”.
Photographs and interviews were collected by Savraj Kaur of United, in collaboration with volunteer portrait photographer Nahwand Jaff. It was toasted by LBHF Mayor Daryl Brown.
United in Hammersmith & Fulham is a local organisation that inspires and helps fund activities that promote a strong sense of togetherness in the diverse London borough. This is achieved by connecting those who want to support the community with local causes that will best use their investment.
Chair of United, Kevin McGrath, DL, OBE, said: “We invite anyone to come and see this exhibition which will continue to form a living catalogue of individuals from Old Oak to Sands End.”
“It really shows how wonderful our borough is and the value of all the communities within it. Those who are strangers but neighbours with so much in common too.”
Humans of Hammersmith & Fulham 2020 will tour the borough through the year.
You can currently view the exhibition for free at The Lyric Theatre Hammersmith W6, 9am to 11pm, Mon-Sat, until Saturday 22 February. And then at the Black Lion Pub W6, Tuesday 25 February until March.
