Explore our exhibitions
Found Cities, Lost Objects: Women in the City, is a national touring exhibition curated for the Arts Council Collection by Turner Prize-winning artist and cultural activist Lubaina Himid CBE. This exhibition of over 60 works, including some by Bristol-based artists, presents a wide array of modern and contemporary art, including painting, sculpture, photography and film from both the Arts Council Collection and artists’ studios.
Street Life is an exhibition curated by Malcolm Ashman RWA and Stephen Jacobson RWA. Stephen and Malcolm first conceived of this urban-themed exhibition before the pandemic, and felt now was the perfect time to revive it to complement Found Cities Lost Objects in the main galleries. 20 Academicians were invited to display work and the show will include architecture, sculpture, printmaking and painting.

TMW x SXSW: The Wild West

Talk
Every year, TMW sends our strategy team out to attend South by Southwest, the world’s biggest technology and arts festival, to learn about the changes that are likely to shape our world and the industry.
But you don’t need to go all the way to Austin, Texas to see we’re living through a period of chaos. The pace of change has become so rapid that predicting the future feels less possible than ever. The models we’ve traditionally relied upon to understand, predict and plan are failing.
There’s vigilantism and lawlessness. Hucksters and quacks. Unprecedented risks and enormous opportunities. You could say: we’re living in the wild, wild west.
Come join our breakfast session to hear the good, the bad and the ugly of SXSW, and our recommendations for how to wrangle the chaos.
Agenda:
08:45 Doors open for breakfast
