Scattered symbols of exiled lives have been drawn together in a powerful display by Act Together (Women Against Sanctions and War on Iraq). This timely exhibition, which continues until Saturday, reveals much about the impact of political turmoil on individual lives by simply presenting a mish-mash of precious personal objects. Maps, poems, plates, photos, degrees - the bits and pieces that for some reason or another have been carried from Iraq to London have been collected here in a homage to lives lived in limbo.

According to Jan from Act Together, the project began in summer last year with ads placed in national papers calling for contributions from Iraqi exiles. The collection is random, and its power is in its willingness to admit that. There is no attempt to explain or categorise, but only to acknowledge the way personal objects can connect exiles to their home. The sadness is in realising that it is often the only way.

It is the simple things that are missed the most, as the accompanying stories indicate, 'I think Kirkuk loofahs are the best things to wash yourself with. Everytime I meet someone going to Iraq, I ask them to bring me one back'. Then a coin with very little explanation, ' I found this dinar in a small purse'. A photograph, with the harrowing story of the mother who 'drowned in sorrow' when her both of her children were killed in two separate wars. The curators place reminders of great loss next to purely practical items such as degree certificates or maps, and create an unsentimental impression of disrupted lives. The exhibition itself is a suitcase packed in a rush, where grabbed objects suddenly grow to carry all the weight of home.

This intimate examination of lives left behind deserves attention, now more than ever. So drag yourself away from the reality tv take on the war and go see a clash between the personal and the political, where looking at a loofah can make you sad.
