Resurrection: The Art and History of Bunhill

17 October 2025 to 13 March 2026

In 2022 the Bunhill Heritage project invited print-maker Georgie Fay, metalworker Jacky Oliver, and sound artist Jamie Turner to bring the stories of the tradesmen, dissenters, artisans, and radicals who lived, worked, and were buried in Bunhill Ward to life. Resurrection presents their artworks alongside their inspirations, motivations, and methods, and debuts three new retrospective artworks.

Visit Islington Museum to discover these never-before-seen artworks, and to explore the ward’s transformation from empty fields and a hill of human bones to a lively inner-city hub.

Admission is free.
