 Julie Mehretu's works at the gallery is called the Mogamma. The Mogamma is a the government building in Tahrir Square in Cairo, which formed a backdrop for the protects against Hosni Mubarak's regime in early 2011. Mehretu has overlaid architectural drawings of the Mogamma with those of other locations associated with public unrest, including Addis Ababa's Meskel Square and New York's Zuccotti Park, the site of the 'occupy' protects. Using digital images and projecting them onto the surface of the canvas, Mehretu complicates the drawn plans so that we can no longer see them clearly. The resulting painting could be seen as a memorial to collective sites of communal resistance.

 Bradford's contribution to the gallery is his work called Los Moscos. This large scale collage includes materials found by the artist on the streets around his studio in Los Angeles. Visually suggestive of aerial maps of sprawling, urban areas, the collage is constructed entirely from paper fragments which, the artist believes, 'act as memory of things pasted and things past. You can peel away the layers of paper and it's like reading the streets through the signs.' The work takes its title from a derogatory slang term for migrant day laborers in the San Francisco Bay Area, reflecting the artist's long standing interest in the sub-cultures of the inner city.

 ==Kader Attia==
 Attia's contribution to the gallery was his model of the ancient Algerian city of Ghardaïa. The materials used to build the model are very unconventional. Instead of using clay or wood, Attia designed the model using cooked couscous and digital prints on paper. A Swiss-French architect named Le Corbusier visited Ghardaïa in 1931 and triped to photograph the elements of the ancient city. Fernand Pouillon, a follower of Le Corbusier, drew upon different ideas to design a social housing project in suburban Paris where Attia grew up. The artist's own history, and wider post-colonial relationship between Algeria and France are expressed through this work.
