Between Here and Now

Tabernacle - London

Inspired by the architecture and history of the Tabernacle in Notting Hill, this exhibition explores the idea of space as a place of connection, encounter and shared experience.

Reflecting the collective's interest in physical, emotional and political space, the exhibition considers how places shape our relationships with one another, and how collaborative artistic practices can transform a shared space into a collective experience.

Built in 1887 as a church, the Grade II listed building is distinguished by its Romanesque architecture, red brick and terracotta façade, and twin towers. Since becoming a community arts centre in the 1970s, the Tabernacle has evolved into a vibrant cultural hub, bringing together people from different backgrounds through music, dance, theatre and visual arts.

Drawn to the building's history and its role within the local community, Space Collective sees the Tabernacle as more than a physical venue. It is a place where different practices, cultures and generations meet, and where art can create opportunities for connection and exchange.
