London

Co-curated by local citizen scientist Twinkle and the UCL Citizen Science Academy, the exhibition invites you to read the stories of local people, and explore the lives of those tackling the big questions in an ever-changing city. 

What actually is a ‘good life’?
What does prosperity (or lack of it) really feel like?
Who or what makes a community?

Through captivating stories, photos, maps and artwork, citizens from across London present outputs from their work seeking to make change happen from the bottom up. We invite you to reflect on their work and add to it, remember the past, and imagine the future.
