We’ve invited over 10 artists to take part in this non-profit exhibition — from emerging talents to seasoned practitioners with over 20 years of experience. Spanning disciplines from 2D to 3D, you’ll encounter a wide range of works: from the intimate to the architectural, from playful design to thought-provoking statements. There’s no single aesthetic, no shared medium — only the desire to challenge and explore.

What happens when you look at an artwork without knowing who made it, what it’s called, or even if it’s meant to be art?

‘Overlap’ is a three-day experimental exhibition that removes labels, names, and context — inviting you to respond instinctively to what you see.

This non-profit exhibition, hosted at St Ethelburga’s Centre in the City of London, explores the blurry space between art, design, and object. Some pieces look functional. Others feel decorative. Some might do both — or neither.

You won’t know who made what until you arrive. The goal? To challenge how we judge and categorise what we see, and to open up unexpected conversations in the process.

Come with curiosity. Leave assumptions behind. In Overlap, there are no labels — just your own response.
