How To Survive The Apocalypse - Museum of Homelessness, London (2024–2025)
Operations & Production Manager
Museum of Homelessness is a ground-breaking, community-driven social justice museum led by individuals with direct experience of homelessness, founded in 2014 by Jess and Matt Turtle. After a decade without a permanent home, the museum opened its first fixed site at Manor House Lodge, Finsbury Park, in May 2024, an opening covered by the BBC, The Economist, The Guardian, and on the cover of The Big Issue.
“How To Survive The Apocalypse” was the inaugural exhibition, combining live verbatim object storytelling, immersive projection, promenade performance, and audience discussion to explore the resilience, ingenuity, and creativity of people experiencing homelessness. We inverted conventional narratives and showed that people experiencing homelessness are bearers of practical wisdom in our precarious world. As Operations & Production Manager, I played a central role in building the exhibition and the museum’s operations from inception to delivery and beyond across its launch year, overseeing production, marketing, stakeholder engagement, and day-to-day processes. Named one of the best exhibitions in London by The Guardian and London on the Inside.
