Exhibitions

Our new exhibition opened at the beginning of February 2026, featuring joyful artworks created by young people from our Her Space Senior and Her Space Junior groups.
The exhibition also includes a beautifully produced flag display highlighting the heritage connections that run through our diverse local community – celebrating the many stories, journeys and identities that shape East Oxford.

This exhibition celebrates the creativity of three inspiring members of the Ark-T community — Kerry, George, and Brendan — who have organised and designed this exhibition themselves. Their work reflects both the time spent in Ark-T’s Welcome Space, exploring creative wellbeing activities, and the art they continue to develop outside of it.

Each artwork on display tells a story of curiosity, imagination, and personal growth. Together, they remind us that creativity is something we carry with us, shaping how we see, feel, and connect with the world.

The artists you see here bring imagination, curiosity, and compassion to everything they do — enriching our community with their creativity and spirit.

Through weaving, drawing, painting and poetry, Kerry, George, and Brendan show us what happens when creativity and community come together — a celebration of imagination, exploration, and belonging.

An evolving living exhibition about community resilience

Pieces of Us – is an evolving exhibition that celebrates the resilience of people. Built gradually over the summer, it invites individuals and families to contribute a meaningful object that represents a time when they found strength in difficulty, adapted to challenge, or needed to be resilient.

At the heart of the exhibition is a large-scale community still life — a growing installation made from donated everyday objects. Each object will be accompanied by a handwritten label and a personal story, shared by the person who contributed it, telling us about the moment it represents to them.

The Human Rights exhibition featured artwork from participants from Her Space and The Art Nest programmes. The exhibition explores themes of fairness, inclusion, and identity. Highlights include vibrant pieces from Exploring Equality Through Art and stunning Year 6 wooden stools inspired by artists like Yayoi Kusama and Sonia Delaunay.
Through creative reflections on human rights, our young artists celebrate kindness, courage, and diversity.
