Please reserve your free ticket to avoid disappointment.

Motunrayo Akinola: Knees Kiss Ground
We're delighted to present Knees Kiss Ground, a solo exhibition by artist Motunrayo Akinola, which explores faith and belonging through everyday objects.

The exhibition was produced during a six-month residency Motunrayo secured at South London Gallery (SLG) as part of their Postgraduate Residency scheme. The scheme provides early-career artists with the rare opportunity to produce a new body of work. Knees Kiss Ground was first exhibited at SLG in 2024 and tours to Bonington Gallery in 2025.

Vitrines #26: The Aimless Archive
Hull based The Aimless Archive delivers the 26th instalment of our Vitrines programme.

The Aimless Archive works across text – conversation – performance – collecting.  It questions what we keep and what we get rid of by investigating the processes used to build archives.  This approach attempts to be as open and collaborative as it can be.  Work often takes the form of a book – a box – a by-product.
