What we offer

We are UAL

The UAL Decolonising Arts Institute seeks to challenge colonial and imperial legacies and drive cultural, social and institutional change. We imagine the Institute as a decentred, disruptive, evolving and porous space, creating interdisciplinary collaborations and research-driven projects through partnerships across UAL and beyond. 

20/20 is an ambitious commissioning and network programme led by UAL’s Decolonising Arts Institute that will place 20 artists with 20 public art collections across the UK. Combining virtual/online and physical/onsite artist residencies with commissioning at scale, 20/20 will lead to a new permanent acquisition in each host collection. 20/20 sets out to build stronger relationships between UK collections. It will support inclusive engagement between collections and the communities they serve, to generate richer understanding of collections’ histories and the contributions of the under-represented or overlooked artists in their midst.
