‘What Moves You?’ is presenting an interactive exploration of home, belonging and community at the Stables Gallery in Twickenham, inviting visitors to contribute thoughts, drawings and personal reflections to an exhibition that will continue to develop during its run.
The exhibition, organised through Richmond Arts Service, brings together work by artists and researchers linked to the borough through place, practice or collaboration. Rather than treating the gallery as a space for passive viewing, the project asks visitors to pause, look closely and take part in a conversation about the experiences and ideas that shape a sense of community.
The participating artists and researchers are Dexter Mclean, Dzifa Benson, E Sam Lai, Himali Singh Soin, Paloma de Almeida Durante, Resolve Collective, Sacha Coward, Salma Kabil, Samira Kitman and Tak Elio Lai. The exhibition page does not assign individual works or themes to particular contributors, instead presenting the group as part of a broader response to the subjects of home, belonging and community.
Visitor contributions will become part of a growing collective narrative developed by Richmond Arts Service. According to the gallery, these responses will help shape future exhibitions, events and activities. The format makes the audience’s presence part of the exhibition’s content, with drawings, thoughts and reflections contributing to an evolving account rather than a fixed presentation.
‘What Moves You?’ is on view from 24 July to 27 September 2026 in the Stables Gallery at Orleans House Gallery, Orleans Road, Twickenham. It is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10am to 5pm and admission is free. The venue’s published information lists the Stables Gallery as remaining open while the main building undergoes other exhibition-related changes in September.
The project sits within the programme of Orleans House Gallery, which is part of Richmond Arts Service. The gallery’s wider 2026 schedule includes exhibitions and projects focused on participation, collaboration and artistic research, but ‘What Moves You?’ is specifically centred on artists connected to the borough and on the contributions made by its visitors. It continues through 27 September 2026.
