Bow Arts' East London Art Prize celebrates the talent and diversity of art made in east London. This exhibition will present 12 incredible artworks shortlisted for the second iteration of the Prize.
Represented in the shortlist are themes including migration, African diasporic perspectives, microhistories, mental health, social justice, dynamics of public space, hyperlocality, and the deployment of political narratives through cultural production. This diverse thematic selection is mirrored in an equally varied range of media, with submitted works spanning painting, sculpture, film, installation, and performance.
The shortlisted artists, chosen from over 800 submissions by artists and collectives living or working within the ‘E’ postcode, were selected by panellists Jonny Tanna (Founder, Harlesden High Street), Louise Benson (Director of Digital, ArtReview Magazine), Phoebe Collins-James (artist), and Sam Wilkinson (Head of Public Art, UCL Culture).
The East London Art Prize is generously funded by Minerva and Prue MacLeod and is supported by east London partners, the British Council, The Line, London College of Fashion, London Legacy Development Corporation, University College London, V&A East and Whitechapel Art Gallery, as well as Dulux.
