>and representations of cultural production from Latin America. Its main
>projects are the Wall Gallery and the Travelling Gallery. 24/7-Wall Gallery
>uses the exterior wall of a house located at the corner of Club Row and
>Redchurch Street in London1s East End as an exhibition site. The
>24/7-Travelling Gallery takes place in different venues, galleries and
>specific locations.
