Louise Giovanelli in a group show at the Southbank Centre, London.

Louise Giovanelli will be part of British Art Show 10: A Chorus of Strangers, a travelling groupshow from on view at Southbank Centre from October 2, 2026 through January 10, 2027.  

 

The landmark 10th edition of British Art Show explores human connection and the figure of the Other in divided times, through the work of more than 30 artists. British Art Show 10: A Chorus of Strangers takes place against a backdrop of heightened anxiety intensified by a divisive political culture, an accelerating climate crisis, and growing public distrust in institutions. In polarising times, the exhibition asks: what forms might empathy or shared imagination take?

 

At its core, A Chorus of Strangers considers how art can challenge fears of otherness and difference often sparked in periods of uncertainty or change. Rather than framing the outsider or stranger figure as a threat, British Art Show 10 invites a shift towards empathy – moving away from rigid distinctions of ‘us’ and ‘them’ to explore the variety of perspectives that comes from looking through the eyes of others.

 

The UK’s largest recurring contemporary art exhibition, British Art Show 10 is produced by Hayward Gallery Touring and forms a key part of the Southbank Centre’s 75th anniversary national programme.
