Presented every five years, the British Art Show provides a vital survey of contemporary art in the UK. This, its ninth edition, has been developed at an extraordinary moment in British history, a time during which the UK was in the last throes of Brexit negotiations and, along with the rest of the world, finding ways to cope with a global pandemic. British Art Show 9 is curated by Irene Aristizâabal and Hammad Nasar and is structured around three main themes: healing, care and reparative history, tactics for togetherness, and imagining new futures. The 47 artists in the exhibition look at how we live with and give voice to difference, explore alternative economies, and propose ways of living together that emphasise commonality and collaboration --
