On display until the 6th Jan 2019 is Athi-Patra Ruga’s ‘Of Gods, Rainbows and Omissions,’ a work of sculpture, photography, video and embroidery.
The first UK major solo exhibition of the internationally renowned South African artist Athi-Patra Ruga, the series of three recent works unveils a “surreal, mythical utopia, filled with a collection of extraordinary characters. ”
Showcasing his diverse practice, from drawings and sculpture to film and photography, plus beautiful hand-crafted petit point tapestry, the exhibition immerses visitors in Ruga’s vibrant world – an allegory of post-apartheid political, cultural and social systems, and a shimmering vision of a more humanist future.

In the courtyard can be seen installations by Ibrahim El-Salahi called ‘Meditation Tree.’
