New Futures Digital: RCA FOCUS

Curators’ Statement

A note from RCA curators Junyao Chen and Yang Xu

It is forever interesting to see the world through the gaze of another; the selection of artists and graduates from the Royal College of Art whose work you see here invite you to view today’s happenings through the filter of their practice. Across photographs, paintings, prints and textiles, they look positively forward with insight and determination to adapting to the state of the world. This gaze of theirs therefore takes on an external sentiment, becoming a newsreel of thoughts and emotions documented through the eyes of the next generation of creatives. From meditative walks with works created before the pandemic, to playful interpretations of our changing climate, these artists use their knowledge and experience to steer these narratives. In turn, they embody and encircle a growing desire to probe the fabric of our constantly evolving society with renewed vigour.
