BACKSTAGE

MUSE

Whilst peeling back the layers of his Bloomsbury townhouse, Erdem discovered echoes of the building’s former residents. In Victorian times, the building was joined to its neighbours to form “A Home of Hope for the Restoration of Fallen Women”, founded in 1860 and active until the early 20th Century. By 1892 the interconnected houses had received 3,216 women through their doors. The Home of Hope was considered a benevolent environment, though records reveal a riot incited in the square by intoxicated residents who had missed their curfew, which might suggest otherwise. The women are long since departed, but the imprints and vestiges of their presence remain.
