Join Nottingham Contemporary’s Senior Curator Katie Simpson and Curator Niall Ó Faircheallaigh to discuss the key concepts and ideas presented in our two new exhibitions.

This season, we are presenting Cemetery of Martyrs, the first major institutional solo exhibition of the Lebanese artist Dala Nasser known for her sculptural and sonic installations that invite viewers into a collective space of mourning and remembrance; as well as Lines That World a River لکیروں سے دریا تھامنا, the first European solo exhibition by multi-disciplinary artist Shahana Rajani (b.1987, Pakistan) with contributions from Ustad Abdul Aziz, Abdul Sattar and Aziza Ahmad centring practices and lineages of drawing and painting through which coastal communities in Pakistan remain connected to sacred ecologies of rivers and sea amidst the violence and erasure of infrastructure and the climate emergency.
