NŪR, the pentagon structure which rises 10 metres high, is the visual articulation of an experiment (see below). Incomplete and precarious. Industrial and rustic. Skeletal and sinewy in day; a glowing lantern at night. It is a part of a project designed to foreground the Cultural Centre, and is presented with an exhibition, hosted in the mosque courtyard, that envisages a possible future development of the mosque building.
NŪR and the exhibition are a culmination of a long and meandering process which had its inception in 2016. Ambitious and complex in scope but necessarily fluid in its need to constantly shift and adapt to real world circumstances, this project straddles many components and trajectories. It results from an art-making process involving a dialogical engagement with the community – the congregation; men, women and children – where their aspirations and needs become the existential core of this journey.
