Donald Locke: Resistant Forms

10 April - 30 August 2026

London’s first comprehensive survey of Guyanese-British ceramicist, painter and sculptor Donald Locke.

A post-war artist of the Windrush Generation, Donald Locke (1930-2010) played a pivotal role in 20th century British sculpture. This exhibition, presenting over 80 works across five decades, offers a long-overdue exploration of the artist, whose significance has gone under-recognised in the UK.

Ain Bailey: The Jamaica Project

10 April - 14 June 2026

London-based composer, artist, and DJ Ain Bailey presents her ongoing trilogy of films. Rooted in her biography and relationship to Jamaica, the show culminates in the series’ latest instalment, specially commissioned for the occasion.

Presented in an immersive environment, the exhibition’s newly commissioned work was recorded in Jamaica during the artist’s first visit to the country in 2025. Titled 5C Jacques Road: Part One (2026), after the address in Kingston, where her mother’s family once lived, the viewer travels with Ain on her journey across the island.
