About Love: An Afternoon of Love Poetry
Join us on 1st March to close out our About Love exhibition with an inspiring and intimate celebration of love through words, rhythm, and voice from esteemed poets.
Love, in all its vast and varied expressions, has long been one of humanity’s most powerful creative forces. How do we navigate, learn from and grow with love? Is love simply something we feel, or is it more - a driving force, an inspiration, a complex and transformative concept longing to be understood? There is always more to learn about love.
Hear from poet David Nieta, and actress Nia Woodward , plus more to be announced, as they try to make sense of and sort through the complexity of love, what it means to them and others, and present their ideas to you through the spoken word.
Love, in all its vast and varied expressions, has long been one of humanity’s most powerful creative forces. This exhibition brings together the work of Anthony Daley, Dr Hassan Aliyu, Roisin Jones, Alexandra Moskalenko and Diana Rosa, a diverse group of artists who explore the many dimensions of love - its tenderness, its complexity, its resilience, and its ability to transform both individuals and communities.
Across these works, love emerges not only as an emotion but as an energy that shapes the world around us. Some paintings celebrate love between people: the quiet intimacy of connection, the courage of vulnerability, and the joy found in shared moments. Others reflect a deep reverence for nature, reminding us that love also lives in the landscapes that sustain us, in the delicate balance of ecosystems, and in our responsibility to protect the earth. Still others illuminate love as a driving force for knowledge, creativity, and growth—an affection for learning, teaching, and the lifelong pursuit of understanding.
Together, these artworks form a tapestry of perspectives—personal, environmental, spiritual, and intellectual. They invite us to consider how love takes root in our own lives and how it shapes the ways we see, feel, and act. Above all, this exhibition celebrates love as a universal thread that binds us to one another and to the world we share.
Celebrate the exhibition with us at the closing event.

TUESDAY 24TH FEBRUARY
GROUNDINGS: LOVE AS A RADICAL FORCE Artists & Curator in Conversation
Join us for an intimate evening of art and open conversation as the artists participating in About Love gather for a relaxed, circle discussion with curator Sukai Eccleston.
This is not a top-down, expert-led panel.
It’s a shared space. A collective exchange.
A conversation you are invited into.
Together, we’ll explore how love — and the absence of it — shapes our lives, our communities, and our creative practices. The artists will reflect on themes of “lovelessness” that stem from materialism, neglect, and trauma, and how art can respond to, challenge, or transform these realities.
For this event on the evening of the 24th February, book here:

Connection is at the heart of everything that we do. We aim to bring artworks together with the critical conversations that flourish through and around them, intersecting diverse themes, ideas, and cultures. We invite you to join our community of artists, art collectors, and art lovers and experience the best of contemporary Black art, transforming the way we see the world.
