📖 Discover Seyi Adelekun's reading list of 14 books exploring nature, connection and care 📚

Why not curl up with a good book under the artist's 'Tree of Life', now on show at the Sainsbury Centre. The immersive installation symbolises the interconnectedness of life and invites you to spend time reflecting and contemplating within its hollow trunk.

Adelekun’s reading list explores the symbolism and meanings of the Tree of Life, bringing together plant folklore, herbalism, foraging, ecology, spirituality and decolonial thought.

In 1992, artist Gillian Wearing put that question to strangers across London, photographing them holding whatever they chose to write. What we carry inside doesn’t always match what we show the world, and Wearing’s work reminds us that everyone has an inner life, even the strangers we pass without noticing. The series helped define her early career, ahead of her winning the Turner Prize in 1997.

See Gillian Wearing’s work now on display as part of Joy Like Time at Sainsbury Centre!

We are thrilled to be announce that we are supporting Unlimited's Partner Awards, and offering a £40,000 award for a new visual arts installation made by a disabled artist.

Our Unlimited Partner Award supports a disabled artist based in England to create a site-responsive and socially engaged piece for our Sculpture Park.

A quarter of the UK population is disabled, yet disabled artists remain significantly under-represented in arts funding, programming, and audiences. Unlimited's Partner Awards are working to close that gap, offering a total of £280,000 in support.

Rosy Gray, our Head of Living Art, said: “We’re so excited to be partnering with Unlimited on the Partner Awards. It’s such a fantastic opportunity to support the development of a new site-responsive work for the Sainsbury Centre Sculpture Park.”

Apply by Monday 28 September at https://weareunlimited.org.uk/opportunities/apply/partner-awards-2026-27/england/large-awards-25k-and-over/sainsbury-centre/

Good harmonies, misbegotten words and pre-ripped jeans. This Museum Late explores identity, authenticity and the roles we inherit, construct and perform through film, music and live performance.

Featuring artist Alice Theobald, whose work blurs the line between theatre and everyday life, the evening explores everything from self-help culture to digital life, language and what it really means to be authentic.
