About the exhibition

Curated by Ekow Eshun, A Chorus of Strangers will bring together the work of over 30 artists, to make us think about how art can challenge fears of otherness and difference.

The show is organised around three interwoven themes:

Moments of Being
Ways of Living
States of Nature

Together, they respond to the world we're living in right now. How we are shaped by social division, climate uncertainty and political tension and asks how art can help us imagine empathy, connection and shared futures.
