Look at this if you love me – Group Exhibition at SET Lewisham
2 October 2025 @ 18:00 – 9 October 2025 @ 21:00
Look at This If You Love Me is a group exhibition curated by Fidelia Schlegl and Lucinda Purkis, bringing together artists who work with comics, zines, and DIY visual storytelling. The show reframes the intimate, often solitary act of drawing and reading as something that can spark connection, play, and community.
Alongside the exhibition, visitors can join a week of free artist-led workshops, explore a community kitchen, and enjoy live music and theatre. The programme culminates in a vibrant closing event as part of SET Lewisham Open Studios.
