How do we experience art from other times and places and how, in turn, does it experience us?
In their film ‘Same World, Different Places’, Young Associates invite you to join them on their creative journey, imagining the Sainsbury Centre from different perspectives and places, and reconsidering how we relate to and understand art. You can watch the full film in the East End Gallery as part of our Living Art display.

Our dramatic new East End display intends to disrupt the traditional museum experience and help you discover the emotional power of art.
You can feel what it is like to be an ‘artwork’ in a museum; encounter art differently; or collaborate on a living work of art.

Grayson Perry: The Pre Therapy Years opens this Sunday at the Sainsbury Centre! The much anticipated exhibition explores Perry’s earliest journeys into the art world, showcasing the explosive and creative works he made between 1982 and 1994. In these, he addresses the themes of gender, identity, fetishism, his home county of Essex, and the vagaries of the art world – all of which are integral to Perry’s practice today.

The Holburne Museum University of East Anglia (UEA)
🏺 COMING SOON: Grayson Perry’s groundbreaking ‘lost’ pots have been reunited for the first time to focus on the formative years of one of Britain’s most recognisable artists.

Here's your reminder to submit your works to our collaborative film to celebrate the Spring Equinox!
The project invites students to send in work in the form of photographs, film footage, found images, pieces of writing, artwork, spoken word, poetry, drawings, animation or quotes. The film will be put together by artist Rachel Kurdynowska and will be shown publicly on the Sainsbury Centre website.
A painting from our collection 'Pomps of the Subsoil' by Leonora Carrington will act as the inspiration for the work. The word Pomp could refer to a ‘psychopomp’, a mythological figure who escorts souls to the afterlife, and who serves as a guide through transitions. The painting is a glimpse into a magical world, three figures dressed in majestic robes gather around a piece of cloth with a sapling in the middle. They seem to be performing a mysterious underground ceremony, it brings to mind ideas of birth and growth and transition, and is the starting point for this film to celebrate Spring.
Send your contributions to [email protected] by Friday 26 March with the following info:
