The V&A+RIBA Architecture Gallery opened in 2004. Its narrative foregrounded stories of style, architectural design, building types and materials. Since then, political and cultural shifts have prompted the desire to explore issues of provenance, exploitation of people and planet, inclusion, and diversity of race, gender and sexuality.
In this installation, activists, architects, historians and writers offer fresh interpretations of objects in the Architecture Gallery, surfacing stories about provenance, eurocentrism, women, disability, LGBTQ+, colonialism and climate change.
