Austrian Cultural Forum London, 28 Rutland Gate, London SW7 1PQ

The ACF London, in partnership with Central Saint Martins and the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, presents an exhibition set against a Europe-wide backdrop of resurgent populist sentiment, nationalist identity politics and right-wing movements.

The exhibition features recent graduates from the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, alongside UK-based artists, whose work explore the deployment of identity in modern political warfare, from traditional communities to cultural histories and family. Each artist acknowledges a unified European character, despite growing division.

Featured artists: Albin Bergström, Catharina Bond, Ann Muller, Gašper Kunšič, Julien Segarra, Alexandra Wanderer and, LA GEORGETTA as well as Calvin Z. Laing, Lukas Janitsch and Rosie McGinn.

Curated by Pita Arreola Burns and Elliott Burns (MA Culture, Criticism and Curation at Central Saint Martins).
