Congrats @jongjinpark_ceramics 🎨@loewefoundation ⁠ ⁠ According to a statement, Park’s work, Stata of Illusion, was chosen by the jury “for its ability to confound expectations of what ceramics can be, revealing a sculptural presence that is at once unexpected and purposeful.”

This weekend, @wepresent has brought a three-day creative takeover to South London with its Spring Show at Copeland Gallery. Running from 8th til 10th May, the free public programme combines exhibitions, film screenings, talks, DJs, publishing projects and artist-led mentoring across a packed weekend in Peckham.⁠ ⁠ At the centre of the programme is “On Belonging”, a group exhibition exploring identity, community and creative connection through the work of artists from the UK, China, Singapore, Iraq, Lithuania, Ireland and beyond. Across photography, painting and textile work, the exhibition explores everything from queer identity and masculinity in post-military Singapore to overlooked Black cowboy communities in South Carolina and Texas, female bodybuilding culture in Kerala, Andean women preserving heritage through fashion, and the friendships built around street cricket in Saudi Arabia.⁠ ⁠ To see the full event schedule and book your free ticket, head to our link in bio 🔗⁠ ⁠ ⏰️ Friday 8th - Sunday 10th May 11AM - 7PM⁠ 📍Copeland Gallery, Unit 9, Copeland Park, 133 Copeland Rd, London SE15 3SN⁠ ⁠ 📸 Cover image by @silviadraz ⁠
