Anna Jochymek – Free.Her (outdoor exhibition)

About this event

An exhibition of photographic portraits by artist Anna Jochymek. Twenty Polish women living in or connected to Hounslow share their personal stories, reflect on their migration experiences, and take part in creating a powerful portrait of the local community, exploring what freedom means to women today, through their own words, histories, and identities.

The resulting portraits were exhibited in two outdoor locations: Brentford Market (24 October) and Bell Square (25 October) and the digital portraits will then be included in the Gunnersbury Museum Hounslow Archive.
