Reopening
Tuesday, 17 February
6-9pmWe’re delighted to welcome you back to Mosaic Rooms for our reopening on Tuesday, 17 February, 6–9pm.
To mark this new chapter, we are proud to host Bouchra Khalili: Circles and Storytellers, the artist’s first public UK solo exhibition. Bringing together three film works on the legacy of the Movement of Arab Workers and its theatre groups, the exhibition reflects on solidarity, belonging and collective struggle.
Enter through our Garden area for Dima Srouji’s Four Moons from Home, refreshed galleries and Bookshop. Upstairs, you’ll find our new creative learning space Play Room, and The Salon, ready once again to host conversations, screenings and gatherings. We’re also excited to launch The Satellite, transforming our tower into a space for experimental broadcasts and sonic solidarity.
As we reopen, we begin a fresh chapter with our new director, team and board. Come meet us, explore the transformed spaces, and celebrate our return together. We’re excited to be back.

Dima Srouji: Four Moons from Home
Mosaic Rooms presents Four Moons From Home, a permanent site-specific commission by Palestinian architect, visual artist, and academic Dima Srouji, made possible with support from Art Fund and Al-Qattan Charitable Trust.
Installed in the new entry hall of Mosaic Rooms, the commission comprises large-scale stained-glass windows carved in Jerusalem stone by artisans in Bethlehem. The stones journeyed from Palestine to London, embedding material histories within the fabric of the building and drawing on centuries-old traditions of stained glass as vessels for cultural memory and light.
Four Moons from Home brings to light endangered histories and approaches to cultural heritage as a space for “potential collective repair”. The windows celebrate the four seasons through carvings and coloured glass that are patterned on the seasonal flora of Palestine. Their forms and colours reference Qamariya (half-moon) windows seen in Yemen, Egypt, Syria and Palestine, honouring the craft of stonemakers and glassblowers who have illuminated homes and sacred spaces across the region.
The visceral light and shadows cast by the windows are both welcoming to neighbours and passersby and operate as a reminder of the importance of permanence within the fabric of our institutions, especially at a time of forced disappearance.
The Building Reimagined
We’re excited to welcome you back to Mosaic Rooms after a year of refurbishment with architects a small studio and Apace Construction. With a focus on ethically sourced materials, and increased accessibility - including lifts, widened doorways, improved restroom facilities and ample parking for buggies - we’ve reimagined our building to create a welcoming experience for all.
You’ll now enter on Earls Court Road, passing through our new outdoor amphitheatre. The Garden is designed by Aarde, in dialogue with Four Moons from Home, a permanent installation by artist Dima Srouji, located in the new welcome area.
Inside, you’ll find refreshed exhibition rooms and our expanded Bookshop, now with more room to browse, connect, and hang out. Upstairs, we’re excited to introduce Play Room: a new creative space designed for participant- and artist-led creative activity. Our live programme space, now called The Salon, has also been refreshed and is ready to host conversations, screenings, and public gatherings once again. And we’re thrilled to unveil The Satellite, a new initiative transforming the building's tower into a space for experimental broadcasts, storytelling and sonic solidarity.
