Plurality Now: New Futures

14/09/23 till 28/09/23

198 Contemporary arts

'Plurality Now: New Futures' is a group exhibition gathering 8 London-based artists exploring the multifaceted concept of identity for second to third generation of Black and Asian immigrants. The angle will be of an identity continuum, an idea that identity is, in the words of Stuart Hall, "never complete, always in process" and in “constant transformation, transcending time and space”.

Focusing on cultural identity, we aim to look at each individual’s experience as valuable as the common experience for people of colour in the journey of discovering and understanding one’s identity and heritage in a globalised and immensely multicultural world.

The show explores the sense of displacement and the difficulty of belonging: when one is found in-between spaces, in-between peoples, countries, and cultures.
We seek to shed light on this feeling that makes one's question their own identity and comprehend the evolution of it into something new and different, blended. This show will highlight the importance of acknowledging the past while looking forward, and forging the now.

The exhibition will showcase paintings, prints, video, and sculpture works.
