We are excited to announce the first exhibition of the 2024/25 programme, ‘Child’s Play: Exploring Childhood Through Art.’

The play-on-words of the exhibition’s title addresses the long-withstanding criticism of Modern Art, and continuous comparison of work which abstracts from conventional methodology to that of a child’s scrawl. Our exhibition aims to seesaw this attitude and recalibrate it on artworks centred on liberty of the creative childlike mind, exploring themes of nostalgia, memory, and perhaps foremost of eccentricity. Relevant movements include (but are not limited to) Surrealism, Toyism, and Abstraction.

‘Child’s Play’ will be accompanied by a DJ set exploring Tezeta, an Ethiopian music genre that translates to ‘nostalgia’, to introduce an atmosphere of sentimentality and carefreeness. Opening night will take place on Wednesday, October 9th, from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m.
