Exhibition 'Crossing Borders' in Ferens Art Gallery
Our latest exhibition, Crossing Borders, invites viewers to consider the politics of citizenship and national identity within the context of British 20th Century art. The exhibition features the work of British migrant artists who, by choice or necessity, crossed borders to live, work and often naturalise in Britain. By recognising the talent of these artists, Crossing Borders hopes to celebrate the cultural diversity that is inherent in British art’s history.
The exhibition aims to highlight the positive impact migration and free movement has had historically on the art and culture of Britain; emphasising Britain’s multi-cultural history and challenging assumptions of national identity.
