198 Contemporary Arts and Learning

198 Contemporary Arts and Learning

HOME

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.

Previous Exhibition

re]locate is a sonic installation by Tahera Aziz revisiting an ordinarily public ‘place’ that retains the traces of a deeply significant event; it is concerned with the processes involved in struggling to preserve the memory of that event whilst offering new insights. The impetus for the work flows from the tragic events surrounding the racially motivated murder of 18-year-old Stephen Lawrence near a bus stop in south London in 1993,

Arts & Community

Inspired by unique film shot between the 1960's and 1980's by Clovis Salmon, People, Signs and Resistance presents his unseen films alongside commissioned works by artists Nada Prlja, George Amposah, Tim Blake and George Butler in a multi-faceted exhibition that engages people in the recent heritage of Brixton.
