Here is a Gale Warning: Art, Crisis & Survival
22 March – 29 June 2025, 11am – 5pm
This exhibition presents eight contemporary artists whose works offer vantage points on a world in perpetual crisis. Rather than representing specific political events, or taking singular positions, each artist in this exhibition explores broader conditions of domination and conflict, as well as horizons for survival.
Here is a Gale Warning will feature works by Pia Arke, Justin Caguiat, Rose Finn-Kelcey, Candace Hill-Montgomery, Tomashi Jackson, Tarek Lakhrissi, Anne Tallentire, and Cecilia Vicuña.
Exhibition curated by Dr Amy Tobin, Curator, Contemporary Programmes, Kettle’s Yard.

I’ve never seen Arke, Finn-Kelcey and Vicuña exhibited together before, and their grouping feels poignant and elegiac.
