Reframe: The Residency Exhibition
Experience the powerful responses of 77 emerging Black artists to climate change in an immersive exhibition, created as part of our career acceleration programme.
Combining film, photography, music and sound design, this audiovisual installation offers a unique perspective on the climate emergency, grounded in the cultural backgrounds of our artists.
Through stunning visuals and soundscapes presented in a new exhibition space at the Southbank Centre, it reflects on the urgent need for collective action.
Reframe: The Residency Exhibition is a collaborative body of work by artists from Manchester, Birmingham and London, each facing the impact of climate change in different ways.
The exhibition consists of 13 works by collectives of artists from the three regions.
Responding to their familial heritage and backgrounds from the African continent and the Caribbean, to the inner city urban landscapes of Britain, our artists offer a profound response to an emergency that disproportionately impacts on global majority communities.
Join us on this journey of cultural exploration, awareness, and action.
The Residency is a career acceleration programme for Black and Black mixed heritage creatives.
The Residency is part of Reframe, an initiative empowering the next generation of Black creatives in the UK. Reframe is supported by Apple and produced by the Southbank Centre with Factory International in Manchester and STEAMhouse and Midlands Arts Centre (MAC) in Birmingham.
This free exhibition takes place during Planet Summer, a multi-artform season that explores themes of care, hope, connection and activism in response to the climate emergency.
