A combination of artefacts, artworks and more will occupy the unlikely site of a disused lobby in the singular Stratford Shopping Centre, creating a fragmentary window into the past and future, amongst the shop-fronts of the present, and examining the layers of ongoing and extreme change in this dynamic slice of the city.
The exhibition will be open to the public in an expanded capacity, on the LFA High St 2012 weekend, before existing as a vitrine display for the remainder of its duration.
