About this event
Originally commissioned by Watermans as part of Future Arts Centre's national project, Our Freedom: Then and Now, artist, Anna Jochymek invited Polish women in or connected to Hounslow to share their personal stories, reflect on their migration experiences, and take part in creating a powerful portrait of the local community.
Free.Her explores what freedom means to women today, through their own words, histories, and identities. The resulting portraits were then exhibited in two outdoor locations in 2025: Brentford Market and Bell Square and in February 2026, indoors at Gunnersbury Park Museum.
Anna Jochymek is a Polish-born, London-based artist, ethnographer, and researcher working at the intersection of visual arts, social anthropology, and public engagement. Anna Jochymek is currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the School of Social Sciences and Professions, Centre for Global Diversities and Inequalities at Metropolitan University London, working as an ethnographer in a pioneering interdisciplinary study funded by the Economic and Social Research Council.
