Amplifying the voices of those who are so often overlooked, the Serpentine Gallery’s latest exhibition is a multi-layered affair featuring works by some of today’s most exciting artistic talent, including Sonia Boyce, who is set to be the first Black woman to represent the UK at the Venice Biennale, Turner Prize-winning Helen Cammock, Prix de Rome winner Rory Pilgrim, and Stanley Picker Fellow Ilona Sagar.

Inspired by the anniversary of the 1970 Equal Pay Act and the momentum for change created by the Dagenham Ford sewing machinists strike of 1968, the works featured are the result of a special program that saw the boundary-pushing artists paired with core social care services and community settings across Barking and Dagenham over the past three years. The result is a poignant and evocative body of work that opens up conversations around mental health, social care and politics, with each artist’s project displayed across the Serpentine and Barking Town Hall and Learning Centre.
