During the exhibition Under the Same Sun: Art from Latin America Today we have been focusing on engaging with the Latin American community located in the nearby Elephant and Castle Area. In particular we have been supported by Latin Elephant in our community outreach. They are a charity that promotes alternative and innovative ways of engaging and incorporating migrant and ethnic groups in urban regeneration processes in London, particularly relevant at present with the redevelopment of the shopping centre at Elephant and Castle.

One example of us working with a Latin American audience was at Plaza Latina a Latin American festival at the end of July, based in Nursery Row Park near Elephant and Castle. Here we worked with Argentinean artist Laura X Carle and over 100 participants to create a wooden structure covered in brightly coloured tissue paper. At the end of the day we culminated with a grand finale where the families burst through the paper, representing the breaking down of borders.
