Date Thursday 23 April 2026
Location Nunnery Gallery (Bow Arts), 181 Bow Road, London E3 2SJ
Overview
'Mosaic of Becoming' brings together works by emerging international artists across the University of the Arts London, whose practices reflect a wide range of cultural, disciplinary and lived experiences. Through a cross-disciplinary selection of artworks, the exhibition explores how identity, culture and creativity intersect within a global learning environment.
The exhibition places particular emphasis on international perspectives, welcoming contributions from across the UAL community. By bringing together students from diverse backgrounds, 'Mosaic of Becoming' highlights how creative expression can act as a shared language through which experiences of transition, connection and transformation are communicated.
Rather than presenting a single narrative, the exhibition creates space for multiple voices to exist together, forming a collective mosaic of creative journeys. Each work offers insight into how students navigate change, negotiate identity and find connection through their creative practice.
