Gain new perspectives on the inventive ways Gypsy and Traveller communities create and inhabit their homes. From tents and wagons to bricks and mortar, this display challenges widespread misconceptions and highlights the discrimination these communities continue to face. Led by community voices, it invites you to reflect on the creativity, ingenuity, and resilience involved in making and sustaining these homes.

This display features a new series of commissioned photographs by Romani artist Corrina Eastwood, capturing the original use and adaptation of materials by her family and wider community.

You’ll also see a large-scale drawing or ‘dialectogram’ of a Showman’s yard by Mitch Miller; an artwork by Irish Traveller architect Darren Ward; portraits and poems by Sheldon Chadwick, a seventh-generation Showman; a collaborative project with Charmaine Abdul Karim, founder of 'Pride of Romany', exploring stopping places through a case study of Sound Common; and an artwork by Boater artist and educator Lil Adams, created through her distinctive ‘drawing with stitches’ technique.
