Miraj Ahmed exhibits his painting 'Go on, say it' at the Nunnery Gallery as part of the Bow Open 2019

Artist Carey Young has chosen 19 artists for Bow Arts’ annual Open Show, with a call for works that respond to “our current political moment”.

Choosing from some of the charity’s near 500 studio holders, many of whom are showing new pieces, the result is a selection of works which engage with varied political themes including migration, gender identity, borders and climate change; poignantly and critically addressing some of today’s most pressing cultural conversations. Young, whose own practice has developed from a cross-fertilisation of disciplines including law, politics and business, has selected work that explores these themes in varied and often witty ways, including painting, ceramic, print, moving image and installation.

The Bow Open Show is the only exhibition in the Nunnery’s programme to present Bow Arts studio artists exclusively, and is highly anticipated for presenting some of London’s most exciting recent artwork.

Exhibiting artists: Miraj Ahmed, Helen Bermingham, Victoria Burgher, Bernie Clarkson, Hun Kyu Kim, Minjoo Kim, Robyn Litchfield, Anita McCullough, Lindsey McLean, Melitta Nemeth, Marcus Orlandi, Kaveh Ossia, Sam Parsons, Lorna Pridmore, Almudena Romero, Nye Thompson, Antonietta Torsiello, Tai Tran and Fleur Yearsley.

The exhibition is open from 27 September – 15 December 2019 at Nunnery Gallery 181 Bow Road, London E3 2SJ. The private view is on Thursday 26 September from 6pm - 9pm. RSVP nunnery@bowarts.com or find out more on the Nunnery Gallery website.
