British Art Show is a landmark touring exhibition that celebrates the vitality of recent art made in Britain. British Art Show 9 explores three important themes – healing, care and reparative history; tactics for togetherness; and imagining new futures.
In Plymouth, the exhibition is centred on the migration of bodies, peoples, plants, objects, ideas and forms; taking inspiration from and referencing the role it's played in Britain’s colonial past, as well as the encounters between British and other cultures that have and continue to enrich our society.
British Art Show 9 is a Hayward Gallery Touring exhibition presented in collaboration with the cities of Aberdeen, Wolverhampton, Manchester and Plymouth. Curated by Irene Aristizábal and Hammad Nasar. In Plymouth, the exhibition is delivered in partnership with Plymouth Culture and with the support of Plymouth City Council, Arts Council England, Art Fund and Plymouth Citybus with Great Western Railway as the official travel partner.
