WHATS ON.

Join us for the opening launch of Unbroken, a banner art installation in the Ocean Court space at the National Maritime Museum, which responds to the Zong massacre. 

In 1781, the crew of the British slave ship Zong threw 132 enslaved African people overboard, allegedly because there was not enough drinking water on the vessel, in order to claim compensation under their insurance.

Hawaiʻi: a kingdom crossing oceans is a dazzling celebration of the artistry and history of the Hawaiian people. 

The exhibition brings together remarkable objects – from feathered cloaks worn by chiefs and finely carved deities, to powerful shark-toothed weapons and bold contemporary works by Kānaka ʻŌiwi (Native Hawaiian) artists.

Over the last twenty years or so I have come back again and again to the canvas, slowly finding my pace with pigments and textures. I mainly paint abstracts in mixed media including acrylic, plant powders, and oils. My work is full of energy and movement with my inspiration coming from natural landscapes, ‘colourscapes’ and the amazing worlds you can see if you look closely at things.

Chiharu Shiota is best-known for her large-scale installations which engulf ordinary objects – such as shoes, keys, beds, chairs and dresses – within huge web structures made from woollen thread. 

The resulting works are immersive and deeply emotive, often drawing from personal experience, which Shiota expands into universal human concerns such as life, death and relationships.
