What rights, if any does the concept of citizenship give us? Who is a citizen, and who is not? This powerful exhibition of contemporary artworks from major international artists examines the subject of citizenship in the 21st century. Citizens is a collaboration between the curators and the artists from France, England, Italy, Ireland, Canada, the Czech Republic, Sweden, Russia, China and India, all of whom engage with different aspects of the worldwide crisis in citizenship as it manifests itself in different societies.


The works, some at the cutting edge, others employing more traditional media, will include photography, painting, installations, video and digital works, and a number of the artists will be making new works specially for the exhibition.
