Beaconsfield Gallery Vauxhall marks its 30th anniversary with 'Manifesto for Sustainable Experimentation', a landmark exhibition that honours three decades of groundbreaking artistic innovation, while charting new territories of aesthetic and political resistance.

Sonia Boyce opens the celebration with a reprint of her 1995 Beaconsfield commission They're Almost Like Twins, a powerful visual statement that once adorned the building’s exterior wall for the benefit of Southwestern Railway commuters.

Curated by founding directors David Crawforth and Naomi Siderfin, this ambitious, evolving presentation reactivates past commissions alongside newly commissioned works, performances, and sonic interventions. At its core, the exhibition reaffirms Beaconsfield’s enduring role as a living laboratory for experimental art practice.
