Las Gemelas: Arrival (a lexicon of unmaking) by artists Sonia Boué and Ashokkumar D Mistry explores the arrival of almost 4,000 Basque child refugees that docked in Southampton on 23rd May 1937 upon the SS Habana ship as a consequence of the Spanish Civil War.

Ashokkumar D Mistry invites individuals from Southampton to take part in a performance that will build on existing artwork featured in the exhibition. The sculpture A Banquet of Tables (For a Feast for Los Niños) is constructed of tables 'sewn' together with rope. The artist invites residents to take part in a communal performance that extends the sculpture by sewing additional tables crowd-sourced from the local area.
