Flight
March/April 2026

An exhibition of artists' mobiles at the Pink Tardis Community Gallery in Dagenham Heathway. The theme is Flight, reflecting Dagenham's history of early aviation. In the early 1900s the Royal Aeronautical Society established a test facility for prototypes and experimental flying machines near Dagenham Dock. 
In recent years Dagenham has become one of the most diverse boroughs in London, with more than 70 different languages spoken within its boundaries. This flourishing diversity is a result of increased migration over the past two decades. 

So send us your mobiles to hang in the Pink Tardis Gallery, reflecting your journey, where you've come from, perhaps where your aspirations and dreams will take you. The sky is the limit!

The mobiles will hang in the Pink Tardis Gallery, Heathway Shopping Centre, Dagenham. A special thank you to Katja Rosenberg of Art Catcher for giving us this opportunity.

How to Submit

1. Reserve a place
We have space for 20-30 artists, who can submit 1 or 2 mobiles.
So get in touch with Alban, Dean, Bryan or email collectconnect4@gmail.com and ask to reserve a spot.

2. Create your art.
It should be no bigger than 12cm in any directions. Make sure there is somewhere that we can hang it from, a loop, or ring that we can attach fishing wire to.

3. Send us your artworks
Send or give your artworks to Dean, Alban or Bryan. If in doubt ask for a postal address from our email collectconnect4@gmail.com.
Deadline for receiving artworks is Sunday 11th January 2026.

For anyone who can't send a physical artwork we can print double sided images and hang them for you.

What happens next?

We photograph your art objects and share the images with a trusted group of writers.

They create a response, which we will publish during the exhibition (March/April 2026), alongside an image of your artwork on the CollectConnect blog (and on social media).

We are hoping to publish a little guide book too, in the spirit of the Plane Spotter guides that the Observer Corps used in Dagenham during WW2.

Exhibition

We will hang your mobile artwork in the Pink Tardis Gallery during March/April 2026. We haven't decided whether we will have a Private View but we will let you know if we do. After the exhibition, and in the spirit of Flight, we hope to fly the exhibition to a new location in Europe. We will contact you to with more details and permissions if that happens.

When we publish the artwork/writing on the website we often include a biography of you. We're aware that some of you have been exhibiting with us for nearly 15 years. If you would like to update your biog then fill out this form - https://forms.gle/i2Uy784nijrwNRCZ7
