21st April 2026 — the premiere of the East London Palestine Solidarity Archive.
A living, breathing record of resistance, community, and truth — captured through the lens of James Whitaker.
Now open for a limited time at Four Corners 📍 121 Roman Rd, London E2 0QN
Rooted in solidarity with Palestine — unapologetically, unflinchingly — this archive centres those voices, those streets, those moments of collective resistance.
But look closer, and you’ll see how solidarity travels.
Echoes of Ukraine. Congo. Sudan.
Different struggles, shared humanity.
There are frames pulled straight from the waterways too — along canals and narrow boats, where community lives differently but stands just as strong.
Faces you might recognise. Places you already know.
Small acts. Big meaning.
From quiet gestures to bold defiance — this is what solidarity looks like when it’s lived, not just spoken.
Go down. Stand in it. Feel it.
Buy a print. Support the work. Show love.
All proceeds go to Medical Aid for Palestinians.
This isn’t just an exhibition.
It’s connection. It’s resistance. It’s a reminder — none of us are free until all of us are.

The launch of An East London Palestine Solidarity Archive — a space holding hundreds of moments, memories, and acts of resistance.
This is just one shot: Peckham Keffiyeh.
If you can’t say it, you should say it.
Every image tells a story of people standing up, speaking out, and refusing to look away. The artist — a boater — brings that same spirit from the waterways into this archive. Movement, community, and resistance flow together.
As a community of boaters, we stand clear:
No to genocide.
Free Palestine.
Intifada.
From the canals to the streets — solidarity lives here.

We are excited to announce that our @falmouthphotographyonline MA exhibition Ties That Bind will take place @fourcornerse2 in London, from 27th-31st May - 🗓️ Save the date!
Ties That Bind is a joint exhibition by @its.emma.collins and @sharrongibson_ … it brings together two distinct yet connected explorations of family, belonging and the emotional charge of domestic space.
Emma transforms the family home into a site of uncanny possibility in The Snail and the Mannequin. Through carefully constructed photographic scenes, ordinary rooms become unsettled and strange, exploring non-belonging, estrangement and the experience of seeing the world from an off-centre perspective.
While in LoveyouBye, Sharron reflects on motherhood through repeated acts of separation. Photographing her daughter leaving for school, alongside treasured objects from childhood and images of blood, she explores maternal attachment, memory, and the emotional weight of everyday routines. The blood images return the work to the body, evoking birth, connection, and change.
Together, the works ask us to look again at home, not as a fixed place of comfort but as a complex psychological and emotional landscape. Across both practices, family is understood as a space of intimacy and tension, connection and distance, where love, discomfort, and difference are closely intertwined.
🗓️Weds 27th to Saturday 31st May 2026
Open 11.00 - 18.00 daily

Meet another one of our four corners residents!
James Whittaker is a documentary photographer, who works in the co-working space on the third floor. He focuses on long-form, multi-year projects exploring the nature of public space.
@whittakerjd
Tell us a bit about the co-work space?
The third floor is a bit of a sanctuary which helps me compartmentalise work and home life. I keep my equipment there and it acts as a base for scanning, editing, and going out to shoot.
There is a huge diversity of skills in the office – photographers, filmmakers, graphic designers – and always someone to bounce an idea off. There is the right balance of getting your head-down on days where work needs to be done and social, creative interaction over a coffee on the balcony on slower days.
What are you working on at the moment?
I have an upcoming exhibition in the Four Corners Gallery showing a two-year project documenting support for Palestine in East London. It brings together hundreds of expressions of solidarity, from protest and community action to quieter everyday gestures
Your favourite place to eat on Roman Road?
The Globe Town Food Court opposite does amazing khichuri (rice and dahl) with beef jhura (Bengali beef - curried, shredded, then fried) for breakfast and lunch (only £2!). I appreciate curry for breakfast isn’t for everyone, in which case the beef seekh kebab in the evenings is great. Just be careful of the naga! 🌶️ 🥵
Pubs!
Two classic East End pubs – The Florist and The Camel - are less than a 3-minute walk away.
What's your favourite thing about FC?
Four Corners’ exhibitions and associated events are great to have downstairs. Finishing work at 6pm and popping down for an exhibition opening is a unique benefit of being on the third floor.
