Join us on the final day of How to make a home for an informative floor talk with exhibition curator and Objectspace Director Kim Paton.

Kim writes of the exhibition:

“How to make a home takes us from the rise of designer culture to the waste streams of fast interiors, positing that what makes a home is neither opulence or good taste. Rather, it is the persistence of things that inspire us to feel like we belong.”

Spaces are limited, register to join us here.
