Curators' Walkthrough

Join Nottingham Contemporary’s curators to discuss the key concepts and ideas presented in our two Autumn season exhibitions.In Gallery 1, we are presenting Mud is everything, the first international institutional solo exhibition of Julia Isídrez (b.1967, Paraguay), whose clay sculptures trouble and enlighten many issues that define cultural debate today – from indigeneity and identity politics to craft.In Galleries 2&3, we are presenting Midnight Sun, the first institutional solo exhibition, and largest presentation of works to date, of the late British artist Sarah Cunningham (1993–2024, UK).

The exhibition marks a deeply meaningful homecoming: the return of the artist’s work to the city where she was born and raised.
