Open to the World

In 2017, ME AND YOU AND EVERYONE WE KNOW director Miranda July returned to a department store as a setting for a new project. This time, with the support of the organization Artangel, she devised a participatory artwork and singular retail experience: the United Kingdom's first interfaith charity shop. OPEN TO THE WORLD documents July’s process in creating the store run and staffed jointly by the four faith-based charities that she invited to collaborate: Islamic Relief, the Jewish nonprofit Norwood, the London Buddhist Centre, and the Christian Spitalfields Crypt Trust.
