The Collective 2025

Exploring Unity, Multiplicity & Shared Identity

The Collective 2025, a group exhibition from 10 August to 8 September 2025 that invited artists to reflect on the many ways individuals come together - in harmony, tension, movement, or resistance.

This exhibition explored unity, multiplicity, and shared identity - concepts that resonate deeply across cultures, histories, and creative practices. Whether through family, community, ritual, protest, or digital networks, collectives shape who we are and how we relate to each other and the world.

Artists responded to The Collective as a theme or concept, embracing any medium and personal or political interpretation. They have created experimental, ambitious, and emotionally resonant works that explore The Collective in all its complexity.
