Looking back to look forward, it reflects on 20 years of interdisciplinary research at UCL Urban Laboratory, whose work shapes and inspires much of the Urban Room’s public programming. The show invites visitors to engage with archival materials, recordings and digitised collections, using shared memory to imagine more just urban futures. 

Why look back to look forward? The exhibition connects archives, voices and research across generations and geographies. By surfacing multiple memory practices, it asks how we can build a shared language for more equitable urban futures. 

Throughout the exhibition, the space will be activated through a series of ‘Memory Workshops’.  

Open to the public on Monday to Saturday, 10:00-16:00, and closed for teaching on Wednesdays from 11:00-13:00.
