Massive Outdoor Photographic Exhibition; “Unlocked” needs you!

“UNLOCKED” is a public art project by the Ealing satellite group of London Independent Photography [LIP], with the generous support of Ealing Police Station. It aims to stimulate reflection and discussion of the impact of the pandemic on our daily lives and ways forward.

This unprecedented project will be on five storeys on the front of the Police station, providing a canvas the likes of which have probably never been seen in London before.

This is a mock-up showing Ealing Police Station and the immense size of their project.

But they need to ask a favour! This is a huge exhibition project that has taken over a year of planning and discussion and is planned as part of BEAT 2021 in September.

Alongside generous support by FujiFilm UK, they have applied for an arts grant to help with the funding. As part of that application for the grant, there is a crowdfunding aspect. The grant committee will monitor how many backers they have and from that, gauge interest in the outdoor exhibition and decide to back this unique project or not. They would hugely appreciate your support in making this 5-storey public art project become a reality.

BEAT can't wait to see the facade of the police station transformed. Mind you, it will only happen if we can help them reach their target

Please back the project and make your pledge, regardless of how large or small: www.spacehive.com/ealingunlocked Every individual pledge will bring them closer to getting the grant and bringing this to life.

Alongside the exhibition, LIP are also planning a talk and workshops about this project given by photographers in the group, in conjunction with OPEN Ealing.
