Midnight Samra is a project aimed at inspiring a more inclusive space

on Edgware Road while celebrating its unique identity and underlying potential. The hopes and concerns of women from the Church Street community for the future of the area are expressed in collaboration

with the Mosaic Community Trust group and Church Street’s

Community Champions. A short film and sound piece are also

presented, capturing visual and audio impressions of Edgware Road.

Midnight Samra is sponsored by The Edgware Road Partnership 

and supported by Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design

– MA Narrative Environments and Subway Gallery.
