We are delighted to present a new exhibition #nationalism[aesthetics]: (Be)Longing, Rediscovering, Rebuilding Identities at the Exchange (Bush House North East Wing, Aldwych, London WC2B 4BG), running 7-19 March.

#nationalism[aesthetics] is an exhibition curated by and featuring the works by third-year BA students from the Department of War Studies. Spearheaded by Dr Pablo de Orellana, Lecturer in International Relations, under the guidance of artists Ella Jones and Matvei Matveev, and curator Tally de Orellana.

The artwork explores multifaceted views on identity, nationalism and belonging, from the personal to the universal, from narratives to commentaries. The works embrace, criticise, and re-imagine iterations of nationalism, seeking answers to recurring questions on identity, such as what expectations are imposed on the individual? How do I rebuild my identity along different, more authentic lines? The exhibition in itself constitutes a walk-through exploration on fragmentation and possible identities, while manifesting an ever-growing sense of (be)longing.

A Private viewing of the exhibition will take place on Thursday, 10 March 2022 at 6:00 pm.

#nationalism[aesthetics]: (Be)Longing, Rediscovering, Rebuilding Identities features works by: Alyah Albader, Mari Bakka Maldal, Roger Creus Vila, Jane Dabate, Chloe Delaitre Bonet, Paul Dorian, Polina Evtushenkova, Ella Jones, Anastasiia Katona, Matvei Matveev, Ansh Mehta, Erell Mourouga, Ben Proud, Eliott Sistac. The exhibition was curated by Anastasiia Katona, Zuzanna Kozlowska and Sarah Rost.
