The approach, a mainstay of East London's gallery scene, is presenting new works by Croatian artist Hana Miletić, as well as canvases by US painter Tom Allen. Miletić's exhibition is partly inspired by the history of the gallery’s local Bethnal Green area, which, along with other parts of East London, developed as a site for silk weaving from around the mid-seventeenth century.
