Raven Row is a non-profit contemporary art exhibition centre in Spitalfields. Raven Row’s programme is intended to appeal both to a specialist audience and a broader, curious public. It is led by a desire to test art's purpose outside the market place. It exhibits diverse work of the highest quality, often by established international artists, or those from the recent past, who have somehow escaped London's attention. However, the programme will remain improvisatory and un-dogmatic, and the qualities that might constitute Raven Row’s success, its ‘cultural value’, will remain open to question

In Conversation: Tam Joseph & Dr Anjalie Dalal-Clayton

Revisit a conversation between artist Tam Joseph and art historian Dr Anjalie Dalal-Clayton, celebrating the publication of Four Corners Books’ I Know What I See, the first major survey of Tam Joseph’s career.


‘With the wry observations of his concerted, determined and engaging international reach, Joseph is in so many respects the absolute embodiment of diaspora. But perhaps we’d do better to simply describe Joseph as a world citizen, one who is as deeply engaged with history as he is with geography, and formidably engaged with artistic innovation.’
— Eddie Chambers, Introduction to Tam Joseph: I Know What I See, 2023

For over 40 years, Tam Joseph’s work has taken him in many different directions, but it is grounded in a sensibility which revels in the connections between things, as well as the creative possibilities of human perception.

Some of Joseph’s paintings reflect on his own history and the history of injustices faced by African Caribbean people in Britain. Other works draw inspiration from diverse sources including cinema, music, and sport, as well as the natural world and the history of painting itself. Whether his subject is landscape, portrait or history, Joseph employs his deep knowledge of paintings of the past to create work which invites viewers to consider these genres afresh.

Tam Joseph lives and works in London. His work has been exhibited internationally and is represented in many public collections including the Arts Council Collection, Tate and V&A.

Dr Anjalie Dalal-Clayton is an art historian, focusing on British artists of African and Asian descent. She is based at University of the Arts London’s Decolonising Arts Institute, where her research focuses on collecting, interpretation and display practices in public museums and heritage organisations.

Four Corners Books is an independent publisher and charity, which shared space with Raven Row between 2009 and 2020.

Listen back to a conversation between artist Ibon Aranberri, art historian and writer Miren Jaio, and Raven Row’s director Alex Sainsbury, exploring what underpins Aranberri’s wide-ranging practice, how his complex research projects are generated, and how they unfold and intertwine, especially in relation to the works in Unequal Diameters.

Between Accessibility and Art Criticism Panel Discussion | PerAnkh – The June Givanni PanAfrican Cinema Archive

Between Accessibility and Art Criticism: African/Diasporic Film Culture Today

With Awa Konaté (chair), Anthony Badu, Liz Chege, Abiba Coulibaly and Rōgan Graham


Increasingly the division between cinematic forms and materials produced for art galleries have blurred and created new forms of creative collaborations and questionings of the screen-based image. How does this context speak to legacies of the pioneers of African cinema and the challenges and opportunities for contemporary African film makers? The panel aims to explore the role and relevance of writing about and curating African/Diasporic films and to identify new ways to foster and develop ideas about accessibility and institution building in the contemporary moment.

A discussion with Gianfranco Baruchello
An introduction by Gianfranco Baruchello will be followed by a discussion between Baruchello, Luca Cerizza, Alex Sainsbury and Carla Subrizi, considering this exhibition and the surrounding works, his overall production and the broader culture in which this was made. --- Luca Cerizza is an art historian and curator, living in Turin and Mumbai. He is responsible for the Research Institute at Castello di Rivoli Museum of Contemporary Art. Carla Subrizi is Associate Professor of Contemporary Art History at Sapienza, University of Rome. She is President of the Baruchello Foundation. --- Although Gianfranco Baruchello (born 1924, Livorno, Italy) has been exhibiting internationally for over fifty years, this will be the first show in the UK to survey his work. A polymath and self-taught artist, Baruchello was in dialogue with experimental writers (for instance Italo Calvino and Gruppo 63) while producing sculptural work and then exhibiting paintings, first in Rome and then New York from the mid-1960s. As well as films, he has since made happenings, published poetry, fiction and essays, engaged in radical politics, launched a para-business and run an experimental farm. Baruchello developed his pictorial vocabulary through a process of fragmentation and miniaturisation. Applied on canvas, acrylic and aluminium, a multitude of objects, shapes and characters, from history, politics and high and low culture circulate in decentralised, non-hierarchical space, creating a sort of mental cartography. Even if, as the artist’s friend Marcel Duchamp suggested, his works are ‘viewed from close up over the course of an hour’, their narratives remain elusive. The exhibition presents works made between 1959 and this year, including large early canvases, paintings on layered acrylic sheets and on aluminium, boxed assemblages, and a selection of film and video. These will plot a map through Baruchello’s excessive imaginary, where a form of storytelling, critically engaged and often absurd, is constantly re-invented. The exhibition is curated by Luca Cerizza. An art historian and curator, living in Turin and Mumbai, Cerizza is responsible for the Castello di Rivoli Research Institute. --- Image: Exhibition view, Gianfranco Baruchello: Incidents of Lesser Account, Raven Row 2017.

Victor Burgin, 'Now and Then', in discussion with Antony Hudek and Alex Sainsbury
Victor Burgin, 'Now and Then', in discussion with Antony Hudek and Alex Sainsbury Friday 3 March 2017 Burgin will consider his participation in 'A Survey of the Avant-Garde in Britain' at Gallery House not as a history to be exhumed but as a place in the past from which to view the present. For more information please visit our website: www.ravenrow.org --- Presented as part of the exhibition 'This Way Out of England: Gallery House in Retrospect' at Raven Row Gallery House was one of London’s most influential and extraordinary art spaces in the 1970s, directed by Sigi Krauss with assistant director Rosetta Brooks. For only sixteen months in 1972-73, in a vacant mansion provided by the German government next to the German Institute in South Kensington, Gallery House hosted exhibitions, residencies, performances and events as well as pioneering ‘expanded cinema’ and much new film and video work. For many of the featured artists Gallery House would prove a formative experience. Gallery House favoured heterogeneity, colliding the multiplicity of forms and styles co-existing at the time, from performance and experimental cinema to cybernetic, social and conceptual practices. Ultimately, the radical nature of Gallery House’s programme led to its abrupt and contested closure by the German Institute. 'This Way Out of England' seeks to emulate the spirit of Gallery House by inviting a number of artists to rethink their original interventions in the space. The episodic nature of this project acknowledges the impossibility of framing what was an ephemeral experiment. The project is curated by Antony Hudek and Alex Sainsbury.

Feminist Domesticities in Art and Art History
Feminist Domesticities in Art and Art History | Jo Applin, Francesca Berry, Tamar Garb, Teresa Kittler, Catherine Spencer, Amy Tobin Saturday 6 May 2017 A special new issue of Oxford Art Journal titled 'Feminist Domesticities' is the starting point for this discussion. The issue gathers an emerging corpus of feminist research and addresses how we might encounter domesticity as concept, environment and object for art while resisting its oppressive pre-eminence in the definition of femininity. These questions will be considered in the context of '56 Artillery Lane', and open up discussion into belonging, precariousness, aging and activism.

Raven Row
Raven Row is a non-profit contemporary art exhibition centre in Spitalfields. Raven Row’s programme is intended to appeal both to a specialist audience and a broader, curious public. It is led by a desire to test art's purpose outside the market place. It exhibits diverse work of the highest quality, often by established international artists, or those from the recent past, who have somehow escaped London's attention. However, the programme will remain improvisatory and un-dogmatic, and the qualities that might constitute Raven Row’s success, its ‘cultural value’, will remain open to question
