SO ORIGINAL

Currently on show at Art Hub New Cross
Thu 9 April - Sun 12 April
11am-5pm

Private View: Wednesday 8th April, 6-9pm

So Original begins with a familiar art-school anxiety: what happens when our ideas are not as radical as we hoped? Contemporary art frequently returns to recurring themes — identity, memory, trauma, politics, love and everyday life — forming a shared conceptual vocabulary across diverse practices. Rather than attempting to resolve this condition, the exhibition examines how originality is shaped through interpretation. Visitors encounter the works through an accompanying audio tour, which traces a continuous narrative across the exhibition, linking each artwork within a single unfolding storyline. As the narrative progresses, it reveals how easily distinct works can be drawn into a shared structure of meaning. Connections emerge not as inherent qualities of the artworks themselves, but as products of framing — of the language and narratives through which they are encountered. In doing so, So Original considers repetition not as a failure of originality, but as a condition produced through the systems that organise and interpret contemporary art.

At our annual xmas market last Saturday, it was inspiring to see our studio members showcase and sell their incredible creations alongside the work of fantastic local organisations, such as Migrants In Culture. Their popular ‘Potatoes are Immigrants’ tea towels were a highlight, making it onto many shoppers’ lists.

Check out our highlight reel to get a flavour of the day

A huge shout-out also goes to our partners, Arts Network. We are proud to be on this journey with you and thrilled to see the success of their Big Give Christmas Challenge fundraiser—thank you to everyone who supported their stall!

We extend our deepest gratitude to Lewisham Council. Their support in allowing us to occupy this special building is pivotal, enabling us to positively shape the lives of so many in our community. The potential to develop this space into a key pillar of the Creative Enterprise Zone (CEZ) and the wider community is enormous.
