The Southall Project is the sequel to a site-specific residency and exhibition that took place in September and October 2009 where 14 artists were invited to inhabit an empty warehouse in Southall’s busy International Trading Estate and create new work in response to these surroundings.

In this current exhibition, Departure Gallery celebrates its first year of ongoing curatorial experiments, extending the project to a host of new participants, making this its most ambitious exhibition to date.

A total of 25 diverse artists will create new or develop existing works during a month long communal residency, culminating in an exhibition from 10 December. These new artists have been carefully selected to either compliment or counteract themes and aesthetics from the original Trident Way exhibition.
