Interfaith Exhibition

The Faiths In Tune – 5th London Interfaith Music Festival, held on 22 May 2016 at the British Museum, brought together an estimated 2,000–3,000 participants from diverse religious, cultural, and age groups. The festival featured an interfaith music programme, an interfaith fair with London-based organisations, and, for the first time, interactive music sessions, creating a dynamic platform for cultural exchange and dialogue.

As part of the festival, an interactive exhibition titled “#myfaith – What does your faith mean to you?” was showcased, building on a global social media campaign initiated by an ACWAY participant. The exhibition displayed 12 curated stories from 11 countries, highlighting personal reflections on faith through photos and narratives, with an emphasis on shared human experiences rather than religious labels. Positioned within the Interfaith Fair, the exhibition attracted significant engagement, with many attendees stopping to explore the content.

Designed to encourage participation, the installation invited visitors to contribute their own reflections using post-it notes, fostering real-time dialogue and personal expression. The exhibition also promoted continued engagement through social media, expanding the reach of the #myfaith campaign. Overall, the initiative successfully complemented the festival’s objectives by deepening understanding, encouraging reflection, and creating an inclusive space for sharing diverse perspectives on faith.
