Join us for an intimate sharing of our five Artist Commissions. In 2024, we awarded five artists commissions to develop new work exploring sustainability, climate change, migration, wellbeing and Creative tech. Eighteen months on, this gathering presents where their creative journeys have taken them through excerpts, film and works-in-progress.

Commissioned artists: Anjana Bala, Divija Melally, Chandenie Gobardhan, Kesha Raithatha, and Shivaangee Agrawal.
