The exhibition sounds interesting: the venue is not. I had occassion to show a European architecture student around Pitzhanger Manor and he was surprised by why anyonw would be interested in it. Of the many things that the Pitzhanger Manor (formerly Pitshanger Manor before the marketeers got at it)is it is definitely NOT a famous cultural venue. It is basically rather a boring old building that no one can really find a good use for and costs the Council a lot of money for its upkeep... Perhaps the Council could sell it to find the Southall Community Centre?
