Exhibition "A New Home, Still Ours: The Caribbean Diaspora and The Rooms it Lives"


  • Arbeit Studios - Lisson Grove Lisson Grove, NW8 8FT London, England United Kingdom (map)

A New Home, Still Ours: The Caribbean Diaspora and The Rooms it Lives in by Rolstudio is an immersive exhibition exploring how Caribbean identity is lived, adapted, and reimagined across generations in Britain. Rather than presenting culture as fixed or nostalgic, it creates a lived‑in domestic environment shaped by memory, migration, ritual, and everyday life.

Visitors move through a series of intimate “rooms” that reflect storytelling, nourishment, inheritance, and the in‑between spaces of diasporic experience. The exhibition “responds to the diaspora by creating a space that feels lived‑in, intimate, and contemporary, a home rather than a display” . It highlights how heritage is “continuously formed through everyday life, through storytelling, ritual, nourishment, music, language, and shared spaces” .

Featuring new work by Rolstudio and collaborators, the exhibition blends furniture, objects, sound, and spatial design to express the evolving language of Black British‑Caribbean domestic life. It invites visitors to sit, pause, and recognise the emotional textures of home, identity, and belonging.
