Priceless in the pavilion

Went to the launch of motiroti's collaborative project Priceless last night and, after the obligatory glugging of free booze and listening to artists' names being mispronounced by suitably gushing speakers in the Serpentine Pavilion, was actually quite moved by the video projection that followed on the side of the Science Museum.

It had been put together from workshops with members of local communities and invited guests who had been asked what they considered priceless, using items nominated by institutions along Exhibition Road as starting points. These ranged (perhaps predictably) from the mundane to the profound, but were all poignantly woven around threads of 'bigger' stories of migration, adventure and belief.

Events run in various venues until 27 August...
