Find out more about the second edition of the Brent Biennial, titled ‘In the House of my Love’, which brings together artists and community groups whose works explore the many meanings of homemaking.

Eliel Jones, a curator, writer and organiser based in London, has been appointed as the Curator of the Brent Biennial 2022 and has developed the vision and framework for In the House of my Love. He is also heading up a curatorial committee of invited artists: former Brent Biennial alumni Abbas Zahedi and Adam Farah; and London-based artist, writer and researcher Jamila Prowse.

The artists and community groups that have been invited to participate in the second edition of the Brent Biennial all speak in various ways to the immigrant, queer and feminist traditions that have for a long time nurtured a sense of home in Brent and beyond.

The public programme for Brent Biennial 2022 gathered together community-building practices. It looked at creativity, healing, listening, showing up for others and asking bold questions, in what can otherwise be a dizzying political environment.

In the House of my Love is an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the gifts brought to light and shared by communities across Brent, through a collaborative commissioning process with three organisations that have been identified as part of the Brent Biennial 2022 project.

As part of the Brent Biennial 2022 we have established support structures for artists and young people to shape and steer the creative industries in Brent and beyond.

As part of the Brent Biennial in 2022 we provided practical info for our visitors including accessibility details, a map and a visitor guide.

We would like to express immense gratitude to all of the artists and community groups participating in the second edition of the Brent Biennial. 

Since closing of the Brent Biennial 2022, the impact of ‘In the House of my Love’ has rippled from the local to the international. Find out more about the legacy of the project.
