Shelter is a group exhibition at 15 Bermondsey Square, Central London (31 October — 4 November 2026), curated by Monica Mardare. It asks artists to locate their own shelter — the person, place, body, boundary, ritual, memory or community that protects them — and what that protection costs.
Works can respond directly, obliquely or unexpectedly. The exhibition supports meaningful encounters with collectors, curators and art-interested visitors, with viewings by appointment and a public opening night with drinks and music.
