198 is a pre-eminent cultural space in Brixton, which explores the rich diversity of artistic practices informed by globalisation and emerging cultural identities.
We foster creative synergies through a challenging artistic and education programme, which explores economic and social change; and their effects on visual culture.
Our artistic programme provides a platform for emerging artists and contributes to contemporary discourse on issues inherent to their work.
Our engaging, inspiring and accessible programme encourages and uses the interaction between diverse cultures, generations and social backgrounds as a catalyst for the creative process.

198 working in partnership with Mutiny Arts presented People, Signs and Resistance, inspired by unique film footage shot between the 1960's and 1980's by local amateur filmmaker Clovis Salmon. Working closely with Clovis and a group of volunteers from the local community, the project presented his unseen films alongside commissioned works by artists in a multi-faceted exhibition that engages people in the recent heritage of Brixton.
