Uprooted

⁣Ieva Saudargaite Douaihi

Through large-format, forensic-style photography of uprooted Lebanese flora, this project explores the moral grammar of empathy, contrasting our instinct to protect the natural world with the growing numbness toward displaced human lives.

“…not my face…”

Benjamin Arthur Brown

7 Mar-5 Apr 2026 Thu-Sun 12-6pm

An installation centering around new video work: a subtly absurd narrative piece of autofiction that tracks an inner monologue as it works through different stages of acceptance of having to undergo surgery, while reflecting on the world around them.

ALLOY

Alloy explores the transformative power of collective creation. Bringing together twelve artists who share drawing as their common language, this exhibition challenges the traditional notion of the sole creator. Through a series of collaborative games, remote exchanges, and relay-style mark-making, the works on display represent a deliberate relinquishing of ego. Much like the metals that form an alloy, these artists have fused their individual styles to create something more resilient, fluid, and complex than the sum of its parts.

Gallery Residency

For two months, OUTPOST Gallery functioned as a working studio space for four artists.

During this residency, the gallery’s exhibition programme was suspended to provide the artists with a dedicated environment to develop new work. The project prioritised the practical stages of artistic production, material experimentation, and research.

Andrew Marsh

Andrew Marsh is an artist, curator, and Course Leader at Central Saint Martins. In 2004, he was the inaugural artist to exhibit at OUTPOST.

Twenty-one years later, his project Campaign Music responds to that first exhibition, Siege Music. While the original show examined music as a weapon in building sieges, Campaign Music explores the strategic use—and frequent appropriation—of music in political campaigns. By analying the songs played at US rallies, Marsh reveals the frictions between authorship, cultural identity, and sound as a tool for persuasion.

Companion Programming included OUTPOST’s 21st birthday celebration, featuring a community dinner and retrospective and speculative discussions with past and present committee members.

Maria Proshkovska

Making Oddkin

Maria Proshkowska is a Ukrainian conceptual artist whose work addresses gender, trauma, and collective memory. Her practice explores how social issues impact the individual and the collective, often through performance and multimedia.

Presented as parallel exhibitions at OUTPOST (Norwich) and the Centre for Contemporary Art (Zaporizhzhia), this project uses adobe—a traditional building material—to symbolise the collective labour required for mutual support. By linking a UK gallery with a frontline Ukrainian city, Proshkowska creates a "shared landscape" of co-presence. Titled Making Oddkin, the work seeks new forms of cross-cultural responsibility and care.

Companion programming included a film screening and Q&A with the artist

Sophie Huckfield

Lady Ludd

Sophie Huckfield is a research-based artist, designer, and writer whose collaborative practice centers on intersectional feminist, queer, and working-class perspectives.

Their project, Lady Ludd, reinterprets the Luddite movement through a feminist and queer lens. At its core is a repurposed historical loom, transformed into a musical and sculptural instrument that challenges traditional narratives of technology and progress. Developed in partnership with Near Now, the project uses community co-creation to turn overlooked histories into tools for sonic experimentation.

Companion Programming included a public performance and a Q&A with Laura Mosely (Common Threads Press) on the exhibition’s key themes.

Working Class Creatives is an arts organisation confronting class-based inequality. They envision a creative industry where working-class voices are equally represented and valued.

This collaboration reflects on the loss of physical spaces, mirroring the closures of both OUTPOST Studio and Set Woolwich, where WCC were based. Rather than viewing these as isolated events, we see them as part of a wider pattern of precarity of spaces for artists. The exhibition explores the grief of demolition and the residue of creative activity, highlighting the precarity that shapes how artists live and work. Through selecting works that center on impermanence and adaptability, this curatorial approach examine how artists endure in unstable environments.

Events included a Forum: Assets for Community Value and a Workshop: Archiving in Motion – participatory documentation of life and making.

Gintė Regina is a Lithuanian filmmaker and artist based in England. This exhibition—comprising drawings, a lightbox, a video essay, and a film—is part of a singular creative universe inseparable from the artist’s life. The works follow two characters, Monika and Gintė, as they navigate the blurring lines between friendship and fiction.

The curated book selection accompanying the show focuses on female coming-of-age narratives, where self-discovery is inextricably linked to the act of making.

Events included a film screening and discussion exploring the technical and creative processes behind the work.

Binder of Women is an artist-led platform dedicated to empowering female-identifying artists through direct sales, expanded visibility, and advocacy for equality. Their latest group exhibition, Insided, features work by Alice Browne, Gabriela Giroletti, Lauren Godfrey, and Pia Pack at OUTPOST Gallery.

The exhibition explores the fissures, gaps, and internal facets where surfaces meet but do not touch. Insided investigates these openings of negative space as sites of potential and imagination. Programming included a preview and discussion with NUA art students and an artist-led tour.

Takeover Time

Takeover is a Beirut-based, artist-led space dedicated to experimental programming for local and emerging talent. Through exhibitions, collaborations, and artist-led workshops, Takeover fosters creative experimentation and knowledge sharing.

This project explores two parallel narratives: Takeover’s artistic programming and the simultaneous socio-political events of the region. By overlaying these contexts, the project highlights the resilience of artist-run spaces in the face of adversity. Programming included a founder Q&A and a screening of films produced in partnership with the space.

Tom Bull

Tom Bull (b. 1995, UK) is a London-based artist whose sculptures, videos, and installations examine the tensions between urban and rural life. Drawing from vernacular architecture, folk horror, and heavy industry, Bull’s work investigates the frictions between hedonism and austerity, tradition and rupture. His recent practice explores the complexities of "country life," giving form to the anxieties surrounding land, labor, and community.

His project FUEL 2 BURN was commissioned by OUTPOST in collaboration with St Chads Projects, featuring a performance and car life drawing workshops.
