Es Devlin: Congregation
12/09/2025 @ 12:00 am - 01/04/2026 @ 12:00 am
Congregation, a choral installation, features large-scale chalk and charcoal portraits of 50 Londoners who have experienced forced displacement from their homelands. Presented as a projection-mapped tiered sculpture, the work offers a luminous encounter with those who bring their gifts to a new country. The work was co-authored by the 50 portrait sitters – reflecting on their lives in London, as well as their journeys from more than 25 countries, including Syria, Sudan, Ukraine, and Afghanistan. The accompanying soundscape is composed by Polyphonia, with film sequences created in collaboration with filmmaker Ruth Hogben and choreographer Botis Seva.
