Open to the World

In 2017, ME AND YOU AND EVERYONE WE KNOW director Miranda July, with the support of the organization Artangel, again utilized a department store as setting for one of her projects, this time for a participatory artwork and singular retail experience: the United Kingdom’s first interfaith charity shop. This short film documents July’s process in creating a 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.
