Addressing issues of representation and care, Towards New Worlds features work spanning the 'visual arts', questioning the term's definition. Sounds, smells, and textures create a calming space, redefining the gallery experience.
The exhibition includes a satirical film by artist Jenni Juulia Wallinheimo-Heimonen on the devaluing of care workers, using a robot to portray the patronising attitudes faced by people with disabilities.
Christopher Samuel presents an interactive narration of his experiences as a Black, disabled, working-class person through 'The Archive of an Unseen', providing autonomy in telling his story free from the medical gaze.
Curator Aidan Moesby highlights the disparity in how the work of disabled artists is valued, emphasizing the importance of mainstream institutions foregrounding and valuing their contributions.
