12 March – 11 June 2024
We are pleased to announce A G E N D A, a new series of artist projects that respond to global events and address pressing issues of our time. The series aims to show how a single work of art can offer insight and understanding beyond the 24-hour news cycle.
The first project displays the photograph ‘Deti’ (2023) by Ukrainian artist Yevheniia Laptii (b. 1992, Kharkiv) on the second floor of Kettle’s Yard, outside the Research Space.

Adult Bread and Art Workshop – Rising, Together
Join artist Issam Kourbaj for a workshop to explore the practice of bread-making. We will open a reflective and discursive space to knead and fold in embodied memories and inherited tales around bread. The Arabic word for bread is 'Aish', which also means 'life' and 'to live'. These will be key themes that we explore in this workshop.
