WANDER / WONDER
A series of one-day experiences designed to turn waiting into wonder inside the Old Waiting Room at Peckham Rye Station, created by Shirin Majid in collaboration with various artists.
Upcoming Installations
What Are You Waiting For?
Inspired by the beloved Dr. Suess poem Oh, the Places You’ll Go, this one-day exhibition explores waiting not as emptiness or delay, but as a charged space of contemplation and a prologue, to transformation.
Through works that dwell in pause, suspension, and anticipation, the exhibition considers waiting as a condition of contemporary life: uncomfortable, tender, restless, and full of unrealised potential.
Rather than asking us simply to move forward, it invites us to stay for a moment in the in-between and to reflect on what is forming there.
In this space, waiting becomes an active state: A site of imagination, redirection, and quiet preparation for what comes next.
Past Installations
Where Are You Going?
Part art installation / part sound bath / part immersive experiment, this one-day experience was designed to create a moment of transcendence and renewal in advance of the pink moon.
Participants were first invited into a ritual about release. They were asked to write a single word of something that was holding them back, rip it up and then place it in an urn. What will you let go?
After the release, sound healer and founder of House Of Butterfly Nicky Palamarczuk guided the participants through a 30-minute sound bath with the ambient accompaniment of trains and passersby.
Finally, an installation on renewal and intention with a gentle prompt to clarify a way forward: Where will you go now?
