Hear underrepresented voices with RESOLVE Collective

Opening in 2026, the Tending to the Centres exhibition at Orleans House Gallery is a collaboration between RESOLVE Collective and Ham, East Sheen, and Whitton Libraries. It celebrates their pivotal role in the community now and into the future. 

This free exhibition will show the process and outcomes of RESOLVE Collective’s Library Logs workshops and Library Lates events, supported by the Council.

You can read more more about Tending to the Centres.

The Library Lates sessions feature site-specific installations that invite attendees to reimagine their relationship with local libraries. As part of Richmond Arts & Ideas Festival 2025, the events also interrogate how we can nurture ecologies of creative practice by caring for the nodes in these networks.

Jon Daniel exhibition at Eel Pie Museum

Supported by the Council as part of Black History Month celebrations, the exhibition honours the legacy of Jon Daniel, an award-winning creative of African Caribbean heritage, former Richmond resident, and an alumnus of Richmond College, who passed away in 2017.
