Reflecting Change

  • 17th Jan 2025 - 13th Feb 2025
  • Stephen Lawrence Gallery

Inspired by the notion of legacy championed by the Stephen Lawrence Day Foundation, this exhibition invites artists to reflect on the past to change the future. Celebrating societal changes that are created of, by, and for communities.

The exhibition poses questions about the power of animation to change cultural perceptions, contribute to public discourse, and to provide a voice for communities and individuals that often remain unheard. Asking the question, ‘What is the societal role of animation as a change-maker?’ 

Reflecting Change explores a broad reading of the term ‘Animation’, from experimental moving image, to 2D and 3D animations, and even the use of immersive technologies.
