About
About the Programme
COMMUNION is a visual arts programme by Bold Tendencies featuring acclaimed international practices and commissioned new work by international contemporary artists. The programme examines what communion looks and feels like in the 21st century, exploring overlapping histories of belonging, public space, decay and renewal – from the relationship between the body, architecture and flora to meditations on coming-of-age intimacy and love, through to the medium of wood as a repository for memory. Bold Tendencies organised 'Ask the Artist' creative learning sessions with the artists, creating an intimate space for critical thinking, community and exchange.
Featured Artists & Works

- Adam Farah-Saad – One Sweet Day (2024): A circular park enclosure installation centring on a decorative water fountain, serving as a memorial and celebration of love, intimacy and public space.
- Olu Ogunnaike – Bad Manors (2024): A monumental table-like structure made from second-hand hoardings sourced from Peckham, speaking to community, exchange and renewal.
