“In My Room” was my invitation to reimagine what a museum space could feel like if it belonged to us.
For one night, this part of Tate Britain became a bedroom. I brought together 28 artists from the 858 Art Club to build an environment that was intimate yet expansive, playful yet reflective. Working with only a £100 materials budget, we transformed a corner of one of the UK’s most iconic galleries into a living installation ~ a space for creativity, belonging, and community.
The project was both deeply personal and collective: rooted in my own practice of building refuges for imagination, and powered by the energy of others who dared to make, experiment, and share. It blurred lines between exhibition and living space, audience and participant, private and public.
For me, In My Room was not just an installation, but proof that with the right spirit and a few raw tools, you can reshape the institutions around you.
