Beginning in the early 1980s, Rotimi Fani-Kayode (1955-1989) developed a photographic practice that refused categorisation, cutting across cultural codes, gender norms, and artistic traditions. Born into a prominent Nigerian family, Fani-Kayode emigrated to London in the 1960s, seeking political refuge during civil war. As an art student in the United States, he came to negotiate his outsider status along multiple axes, balancing his family heritage and immigration status alongside his own queer sexuality and exposure to underground subcultures. Channelling these multiple facets of his identity into photography, Fani-Kayode generated a remarkable body of images over the course of a career cut tragically short by his death in 1989.

Start with Art is a unique exhibition that focuses on encouraging young people to appreciate, collect, and curate their own art collection – with a special price list just for kids 16 and younger!
This year, Start with Art turns 20! For this special anniversary exhibition we’ve invited established artists who’ve exhibited in Start with Art over the past two decades. As in past years, artwork is hung lower in the gallery, visitors can colour on the walls in the ‘secret room’, and we’ve planned family-friendly programming throughout the exhibition to make Start with Art truly kid-centric.
Our take home art projects – Kids’ Kits – are available by donation. We’re also playing a short video in the gallery featuring advice the exhibiting artists offer to budding artists. This advice frequently sparks the idea in kids that one day their work could be shown in a gallery, too.
