OLD WORLD ORDER / NEW WORLD ORDERS

OLD WORLD ORDER / NEW WORLD ORDERS is an artist film programme curated by Tendai John Mutambu for British Council and LUX, an international arts agency that supports and promotes artists’ moving image practices, which asks urgent questions about belonging and identity.

In the programme some of the UK’s most outstanding emerging and established artists disrupt old narratives and encourage new global discussions on topics such as national identity, racial and cultural histories, internationalism and local versus global.

Since 2019, OLD WORLD ORDER / NEW WORLD ORDERS has toured to some of the most exciting contemporary galleries, exhibited alongside international artists and strong public programming.

Past exhibitions can be seen here.

The programme is of course also still available for physical display.

Please get in touch to find out more about how to show the programme and ideas for public programme.

OLD WORLD ORDER / NEW WORLD ORDERS is part of WE ARE HERE: Artists’ Moving Image from the British Council Collection and LUX – a series of five artists’ film programmes curated by Tendai John Mutambu for the British Council and LUX, an international arts agency that supports and promotes artists’ moving image practices.

Each programme is curated around a theme: national identity, marginality, intimacy, the future and the archive. You can view the other programmes here.

WE ARE HERE interrogates how outstanding emerging and established British or UK-based contemporary artists are influenced by these themes and how they explore them through biography, documentary, poetry and fiction.
