Why: Because a straight year of hearing every one of your friends and loved ones repeat the same tired refrains didn’t satisfy that craving.

1) Citizens of the State
13th May
What: Nunzio Miano’s latest solo show, Citizens of the State, explores the state of humanity throughout the Pandemic and where we go now.

Nunzio’s works explore the gamut of emotions felt throughout the lockdown period with the powerful, bold palettes and mark making depicting the cross-cultural and cross continental emotional struggle shared over the past year.
Why: Because the intricate collapse of your own sanity just wasn’t colourful enough.
