Exhibition film
In collaboration with Brent Museum and Archives, filmmakers Turab Shah and Arwa Aburawa and Brent-based young people, we delve into the lives of those who have worked at Wembley Stadium, those who have experienced career defining moments, or the fans who keep the industries of Wembley Stadium and Arena thriving.
This film, featured in the From the ground up exhibition, creatively tells grassroots stories alongside the stories of more recognisable figures. It sits alongside portraits from the National Portrait Gallery and archive material including fan memorabilia from the BTS concert and the original seats from the old Wembley Stadium. Portraits and archives are explored through the themes of sports, music, activism and community.
