IN THE EMANCIPATION OF SELF

3 - 26 MAY 2024

​

Celebrating another year of calling artists worldwide, D Contemporary is proud to present our new group exhibition, In the Emancipation Of Self.

In our continuous commitment to discovering, showcasing, and supporting the creative practices of artists worldwide, this year, we delve into the profound theme of empowerment and self-discovery. Drawing inspiration from the challenges of the past year and the ever-evolving landscape of our world, we invite artists to share their unique visions of empowerment, self-awareness, and self-acceptance.

"In The Emancipation Of Self" brings together a diverse selection of UK-based and international artists, each offering their interpretation of agency and personal transformation. Through paintings, sculptures, photography and installations, artists will explore the inherent capacity of individuals to shape their lives according to their own choices and aspirations. The exhibition celebrates the journey of self-discovery, embracing both strengths and weaknesses while advocating for authenticity and self-acceptance.

Shining a spotlight on new perspectives and narratives that redefine our understanding of self, this exhibition invites audiences to engage with artworks that transcend traditional boundaries, exploring the intersections of personal histories and contemporary realities.

Examining how our individual journeys intersect with larger societal narratives. Through rituals, events, and experiences, we navigate our paths, shaping our personal myths and contributing to broader social change. "In The Emancipation Of Self" seeks to reflect and comment on the current zeitgeist, offering fresh insights and perspectives on the complexities of the human experience.
