Roots Through Ruins by Oliver Benoit - from 9 July with official opening on 11 July 2026
Roots Through Ruins is an exhibition of artworks by a leading Grenadian artist, Oliver Benoit, that traces how memory lingers within brick, architecture, and archival fragments.

In these works, brick is both witness and archive, holding the imprints of labour, violence, endurance, an


UNSPOKEN: memories of the future, until 19 June 2026
Our latest exhibition opening on 1 May 2026 is a collaboration between Donovan Pennant, Tom Harris, Abbas Zahedi and Dawn Wray with a series live performances, reflective sessions, a film screening, and soundscapes exploring listening as a form of reflection on experience. Unspoken: memories of the future combines images of the Meadows in Nottingham (1989–2026) with sound to reflect on how the past shapes the present, and the future.
