White Cube Bermondsey

Join us for two exhibition previews and a special summer party to celebrate the openings of ‘Alien Shores’, curated by Susanna Greeves, and ‘Sara Flores: Bakish Mai’ at White Cube Bermondsey from 6-8pm on Tuesday 8 July. <a href="https://www.whitecube.com/gallery-exhibitions/sara-flores-bermondsey-2025" title="https://www.whitecube.com/gallery-exhibitions/sara-flores-bermondsey-2025" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">‘Bakish Mai’</a> is the first solo exhibition in the UK by Sara Flores (b. 1950), one of the foremost contemporary artists emerging from the Amazonian basin. The presentation debuts the artist’s first film work alongside new patterned, abstract paintings from her ‘Pei Kené’ series. Kené is an ancient medium central to the Shipibo-Conibo nation, an Indigenous people residing along the Ucayali River to which Flores belongs.Combining two Shipibo words, the exhibition title ‘Bakish Mai’ translates loosely to ‘Land of Yesterday and Tomorrow’, suggesting how an ancestral past may inspire and inform the future. Bakish Mai is also the name of the school co-founded by Flores in Peru, dedicated to the transmission of Indigenous knowledge. Through these works, Flores offers conceptual representations of Shipibo-Conibo ancestral knowledge, speaking to the continued resonance of Indigenous epistemologies within the politics of land, life and futurity. <a href="https://www.whitecube.com/gallery-exhibitions/alien-shores-bermondsey-2025" title="https://www.whitecube.com/gallery-exhibitions/alien-shores-bermondsey-2025" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">‘Alien Shores’</a>, a group show curated by White Cube Global Director Susanna Greeves, explores landscape as a place of memory, imagination, yearning and belonging. Through painting, video, photography and sculpture, it offers speculative, symbolic or surreal depictions of emotional terrain and voyages of the imagination; visions of the distant past or possible futures. These are landscapes once removed: shaped by emotional distance, filtered through technology, mythology or abstraction.In a time of ecological crisis and accelerating technological evolution, the once-familiar ground beneath us feels increasingly unstable. The artists included in ‘Alien Shores’ envision landscape as a space of inquiry - where physical geography gives way to metaphorical, psychological, philosophical and futuristic realms. These worlds reflect both our alienation from nature and our enduring need to locate ourselves within it.Artists include Etel Adnan, Alia Ahmad, Michael Armitage, Milton Avery, Sholto Blissett, Pranay Dutta, Fernanda Galvão, Noémie Goudal, Hung Fai, Sky Hopinka, Shara Hughes, Marguerite Humeau, Eva Jospin, Anselm Kiefer, Richard Mayhew, Ken Gun Min, Joan Nelson, Isamu Noguchi, Minoru Nomata, Bagus Pandega and Kei Imazu, Emilio Perez, Marina Rheingantz, Cinga Samson, Tomás Sánchez, Emma Webster, Alyina Zaidi and Robert Zehnder. Summer drinks and snacks will be served in the gallery courtyard.Event Details Doors open at 6pm Drinks and snacks served until closure at 8pm
