  • Art After Devolution: Trailer
    Nov 4 2024

    Art after Devolution is a provocation which calls to return our understanding of contemporary art, its production, and exhibition, to the immediate political and economic contexts of our time. The Britain in question is one where provision not limited to funding and infrastructure is unevenly dispersed, and enduring deference to the metropolitan centre continues to instruct our sense of value.


    Over the course of this series, we’ll unpack these realities through conversation with artists, practitioners, organisational leaders and policy experts. In doing, we hope to offer a polyvocal account of the burdensome inheritance, present challenges, and possible futures of decentralisation.

His research looks for counternarratives in visual culture through analyses of infrastructure, statehood and socio-economics, with particular emphasis on artists’ film.
