We are pleased to present ‘Gathering Mythologies: Waymarkers Without Memory’, an exhibition expanding the realms of spiritual mysticism and esoteric ritual. Featuring works by Nora Bzheta, Sara Christova, Christina Cushing, Ume Dahlia, Layan Harman, Tom Sewell, and Joseph Winsborrow, ‘Gathering Mythologies’ celebrates multifaceted approaches to our amorphous and permeable heritages.

Curated by Joseph Winsborrow and Christina Cushing, ‘Gathering Mythologies’ brings together artists from varied backgrounds and practices to reflect on contemporary life and offer new, speculative interpretations of ancient beliefs, ritual practice, and communal folklore.

Through installations of sculpture, video, assemblages and performance, the artists bring forth stories of transformation, protection, and transcendence. The exhibition celebrates the fluidity and evolution of cultural expression; it is a sharing, building and redefining of our histories. In this sense, ‘Gathering Mythologies’ embodies the idea of culture, not tradition, and emphasizes the ongoing creation and adaptation of cultural narratives, highlighting how stories are not static relics of the past, but living, breathing elements of the present.

‘Gathering Mythologies’ is an invitation to embrace the esoteric as a radical space of possibility – one that honors diversity, fluidity, and the interconnectedness of all things. It challenges us to question whose myths we uphold, whose knowledge we revere, and how we might open ourselves to new ways of seeing, being, and believing.

Please note that whilst there is step free access to the lower half of the gallery, we sadly cannot provide step free access to the top half. We apologise for any inconvenience.
