This exhibition is curated by internationally acclaimed artist Osman Yousefzada. It features artworks by graduates from Birmingham City University’s (BCU) School of Art, along with pieces from Birmingham’s historic art collection, including works by Francis Bacon, Donald Rodney, and Barbara Hepworth.

In this display, Osman has created a way for these different artworks to talk to each other, combining pieces from Birmingham’s collection with his de-colonial teaching practice. The graduates artworks are shown next to pieces from the city's collection and together they create new ideas and connections that might not have been noticed.

Osman Yousefzada is an artist and writer who teaches at Birmingham School of Art. He’s also involved with other prestigious institutions, such as Cambridge University and the Royal College of Art.
