Here’s what the project’s website has to say about it all:

The project aims to create a unique, safe space for people to meet and ask questions with each other, of each other; particularly about faith, religion and spirituality.

There is a clear need for ordinary people to discuss, express and enquire about aspects of daily Muslim and religious life in response to the climate of polarised media reporting.

Visitors will be invited to interact with the installation that consists of a series of freestanding sculptures, photographs and projections.  The exhibition contents were generated from community workshops and invites audiences to ask and explore.

For more information on the project, which runs from 10th July to 22nd August, check out the Heard and Not Seen website here.
