Join us to celebrate Jessie Cutt’s publication of Free-Form Quilts and Patchwork. Rather than prescribing exact formulas, Jessie encourages readers to work responsively, cutting, piecing and composing as they go. This exhibition offers the viewer the rare opportunity to see Cutts’s handwork in person, and to visualise the materials, tools and techniques that she skillfully describes in her book.

Showcasing artists working across textile, sound, drawing, printmaking, and writing, RITUAL is a group exhibition that explores how personal and communal rituals inform creative practice, and how artists unconsciously inspire one another through their work and social interactions. 

And Where Now? is a multi-part video work developed from footage filmed along Ukraine’s eastern fronts while Dovbush was working as a fixer for international journalists in 2022–2023. Forming an accidental archive, the work approaches the landscape as a ruptured space where time overlaps and meaning destabilises.

Photo Poster Project (ppp) - a photography exhibition where you can join a real, in-person show simply by uploading your photo through an app - is coming to The Batsford Gallery in London — and we can’t wait to welcome you to this special event!

Moon Witual is a collective [w]itualistic space to think about the Moon’s relationship to our existential lives here on Earth. It is asking whether the Moon is more than a poetic mirror but an interactive force on our lives? Through references to descension (into the basement, sleeping, into the psyche) and ascension (capitalism, christianity), Moon Witual is a participatory artwork and installation with film and textile sculptural works that is the second edition of the artist’s project on Wituals beginning last summer 2025

The Love You Left Behind brings together Livia Papiernik’s beautifully crafted world where stitch, story, and imagination intertwine.

A Franco-British mixed-media textile artist, Papiernik is renowned for her extraordinary skill as an embroiderer and her ability to transform cloth into powerful narrative environments. This exhibition invites visitors to step inside those spaces — to wander, pause, and become absorbed in their texture, colour, and quiet magic.

Between Innocence and Reality is a duo exhibition featuring works by Lin Cheng and Jiarui Jiang, two illustrators whose practices engage visual storytelling as a critical and poetic tool. Rooted in children’s imagery while extending into socially engaged narratives, the exhibition examines how childhood, care, and vulnerability intersect with lived experience, memory, and resistance

Taking the ancient Greek concept Kairós—the decisive moment of destiny—as its point of departure, this exhibition explores the tension between human free will and fate. Through painting, photography, moving image, and installation, the artists in this exhibition examine how freedom is constructed, limited, and renewed within social, psychological, and structural frameworks.

In this transformative exhibition, fantasy and light transcend their roles as mere escapism and become vital maps to understanding both the world and the self. Two artists, Ketong Xing and Junying Jiang, explore themes of myth, fairy tale, and personal growth through distinct yet complementary lenses.

Echoes Between Us explores dualities of intimacy and perception. One artist captures the layered face of Hong Kong—its clarity and blur, order and chaos—through the materiality of light, chemicals, and woven surfaces. The other unveils the fragile yet powerful mother-daughter bond, where love and tension intertwine.

Undercurrent is a contemporary group exhibition curated by ArtFlow Studio Ltd, exploring the unseen tensions and subtle emotional currents beneath seemingly calm surfaces. Through painting, video, installation, and sound, the exhibition captures personal experiences of suppression, ambiguity, and marginalization in today’s information-drive society.

From 24th to 28th Jun 2025, Batsford Gallery is pleased to present the solo exhibition “Of Self, Time, and Trembling Silence”. The exhibition presents an intimate exploration into the fragmented and fluid nature of self-awareness through the lens of nonlinear time. Curated by Ziyi Xiong, this exhibition gathers works that treat the ‘self’ not as a fixed point but as a continuously folding, overlapping temporal structure — a psychological terrain where memory, body, and image are penetrated and shaped by time.

For over half a century, Vaughan Grylls has made works inspired  by gathered fragments—personal, monumental, domestic, and theatrical— the lives and legacies of men who once held the world in thrall. From Stalin’s modest birthplace to Ceaușescu’s unmade bed, from the creepily cute geometry of SS private housing in Berlin to the looming presence of the Voortrekker Monument in Pretoria, these images ask: what remains of totalitarian power once it has passed?

Running from 24th to 27th February 2025, the exhibition features a compelling body of work that explores the transformative potential of liminal spaces—those that exist between defined states such as the physical and the digital, the natural and the constructed, and the wearable and the sculptural.
