New Contemporaries, the leading organisation supporting early career and emerging artists in the UK, presents its annual group exhibition showcasing 26 artists selected through an open call by Pio Abad, Louise Giovanelli and Grace Ndiritu.
The artists engage with dystopian futures; critical responses to the climate crisis, gentrification, experiences of displacement and systems of power. They explore our relationships and connections with each other, our ancestors, and digital technologies across time and geographical borders.
