Notes

When finding yourself in Greater London perhaps the last thing you’d expect to come across is this ‘oasis of calm’ as described by one of the community we spoke to at The Exchange. A project commissioned by The Exchange with the aim of capturing its essence so people who have yet to visit can know what’s coming. We found it hard to understand the initiative through text and images alone, it wasn’t until we arrived there and spoke to the people that we understood how special this place was. So that’s what we wanted to capture, the exchange through the stories of the community that occupies this space.
