This event will bring together local architects and the team at Finsbury Library to explore how people shape the places they live and work, reflecting the London Festival of Architecture’s 2026 theme of Belonging.
Curated objects and images demonstrating the changing spaces and places of Islington will be displayed, alongside activities inviting attendees to share local stories, memories and a vision of future places through a collaborative collage.
Cullinan Studio, based in Islington for over 30 years, will contribute drawings and objects of their local projects, showing how the area is evolving. The collaborative collage will be displayed in the Library throughout the Festival.
