What’s On

Global Roots Canvas brings together five artists exploring identity, belonging, memory, displacement and lived experience through painting, photography, digital art, mixed media and participatory practice.

The exhibition at 1853 Studios in Oldham was on from 18th – 29 September 2026, offering audiences the chance to discover work developed through the programme alongside its community workshops and creative exchanges.

From 5–16 October 2026, plus 3rd of October we have private community launch and Global Roots Canvas continues at Bridge 5 Mill, Manchester, bringing the artists’ work together in a new setting and inviting audiences to experience the ideas, stories and creative journeys that have shaped the project.

Come and see the work, meet the stories behind it, and experience Global Roots Canvas in person.
