We’re pleased to invite you to the launch of Radical Hope, a new exhibition developed in collaboration with Arsenal Gallery in Białystok, Poland. We are excited that curator Monika Szewczyk will be in Belfast to celebrate with us, and to introduce the exhibition.

Curated from Collection II, one of Poland’s most significant collections of contemporary art, the exhibition offers a timely reflection on uncertainty, resilience, and the transformative potential of art.

Please join us on from 1-3pm on Saturday 13th September for a glass of wine, and an opportunity to be among the first to explore this powerful exhibition.

This exhibition is part of the UK/Poland Season 2025 organised by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, British Council and Polish Cultural Institute in London, and supported by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, as well as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Poland.

Accessibility 

The exhibition is across both the Lower Gallery and Upper Gallery. The Lower Gallery is accessed via the ground floor, which is step-free. The Upper Gallery is accessed via lift from the ground floor or via the main staircase.

Large print versions of exhibition texts are available.

Please let us know if you have any questions or additional requirements, we are working hard to make the gallery as accessible as possible for everyone.
