Bridging The Gap: A Dual Brixhibition Showcasing Brixton’s Changing Landscape
Hosted at Brixton Wings, Bridging The Gap brought together the evocative works of local artist Lil Sullivan and photographer Christopher iCha. This dual ‘Brixhibition’ explored the vibrant, evolving nature of Brixton, a place the artists have called home for decades. Through their unique perspectives, the exhibition framed the “ever-changing multi-dynamic throng” of this iconic neighbourhood, capturing its energy, challenges, and resilience.
Brixton Wings, a lively community hub at the heart of Lambeth, provided the perfect setting for this thought-provoking showcase. Known for supporting grassroots initiatives and fostering creativity, the centre empowers the local community through programs addressing food security, education, and the arts. Bridging The Gap exemplifies this mission, celebrating Brixton’s cultural richness and the stories of its people.
