Power doesn’t die, it reinvents itself - Osman Yousefzada

Osman Yousefzada is an internationally significant artist who is changing the way we think about our shared histories with this new thought-provoking installation.

'When will we be good enough?' asks when will we ever move forward from a centuries-old reality where power and control are in the hands of the few? How much power do we ever really hold and how much has really changed?

Yousefzada's installation features a range of media including sculpture and textiles all of which tell stories of global power that are as relevant today as they have been for centuries.

Yousefzada has also selected works from The Box's collections that are rarely on display including weapons, natural history specimens, 19th century busts and archive film footage.

This exhibition is supported by the Henry Moore Foundation.
