How do artists tell factual stories? What do they draw from reality around them? What perspectives can they offer? How can their work broaden the discussions about the world around us, its past, present and future?
The programme offers a rare opportunity to see recent works by acclaimed artists working with film and video including Laurence Abu Hamdan, Jasmina Cibic, Shona Illingworth, Melanie Manchot, Mairéad McClean, Rachel Maclean, Larissa Sansour and John Smith.
The programme is presented by The Wapping Project, London, in partnership with Bahrain National Museum, and it is generously supported by the British Council, DCMS and GREAT through the UK-Gulf exhibition programme.
