Concrete & Film, Kai Fiáin, The Courtyard Gallery, 25 April to 10 June 2026.
Concrete & Film is a multidisciplinary exhibition bringing together moving image, sculpture, and writing. The project is inspired by the ever-shifting landscape of London’s Zone 4—a liminal territory where the city peters out and the countryside has yet to begin.

Anseo, work-in-progress sharing by Alex Ayvazova, Saturday 30 May, 1.30pm
20 mins followed by Q&A - no booking necessary, please arrive 5 mins prior to start time
Anseo is a solo dance work blending breaking, hip-hop, waacking and contemporary movement to explore identity, belonging and the tension between who we are and who the world expects us to be.
Led by my free-spirited 7-year-old inner child named Oisín, the piece follows a hero’s journey between the real and mythical — drawing on folklore, instinct and mischief to ask: what if finding yourself means going back, not forward?
Part performance, part conversation, Anseo invites the audience into something collective, unpredictable and alive.
