Through exhibitions, programming, and publishing, we prioritise and encourage the global exchange and appreciation of Black art. We are dedicated to creating spaces for artists and consumers to be bold and experimental whilst upholding a standard of excellence. We create moments that feel holistic and adventurous, prioritising the democratisation of experience and ensuring that everyone attending an exhibition feels comfortable and can gain something from it.
