Shifting Boundaries is conceived as an online meeting space where we explore what it means to trust and step out of one’s threshold. Conceptualised during the Covid-19 lockdown, this gathering space coordinates our return to one another and to shared spaces. Acknowledging the importance of trust and love at a time of difficulty and uncertainty, the exhibition considers the role artists can play in developing ideas of togetherness through collaboration and stepping out of comfort zones.

Ballets Russes: Concealed Histories offers a survey of the dance troupe’s textile pieces, showcasing myriad details that contributed to their recognition as one of the most influential ballet companies of the 20th century. The exhibition examines how these costumes offer a historical and contemporary reconsideration of the ballet troupe in terms of its design, choreography and music.

Objectivity: a constellation of ideas, objects and people features a selection of objects from The David Usborne Collection which share limited biographies regarding their provenance and history. Conceived as a method of research for knowledge-making, the exhibition works toward expanding new and established narratives as opposed to reinstituting formalised bodies of knowledge.

No horizon, no edge to liquid explores the concept of cultural hybridity as a space in which cultures meet: where bridges are built between societies through the processes of communication, negotiation, and translation. The exhibition includes work by thirteen artists, all of whom were born outside North America or continental Europe, although many have since immigrated there.
