About the Exhibition
Recipe for Belonging explores what it means to feel at home, connected, and part of something larger. Over the past six months, an intergenerational group of Tower Hamlets residents and Health and Social Care students from Mulberry University Technical College have come together monthly to share stories, reflect, and create art inspired by the theme of belonging.
Guided by community artists Arji Manuelpillai and Ruan Murphy, participants engaged in various creative practices—including printing, modeling, poetry, and storytelling—to express their personal histories and shared experiences. The resulting exhibition features a collection of images, poems, and artworks that celebrate community, and the diverse voices of Tower Hamlets.
