Economist Francis Fukuyama declared the ‘end of history’ with the fall of the Berlin Wall. In his view, liberal democracy now offers the only viable future of government. After the End of History explores life through the lenses of working class artists, who have not only turned their gaze to their own communities, but also out towards the wider world.

Focusing on postwar and contemporary art, the exhibition showcases the work of twenty-seven artists from fourteen countries working in a range of artistic mediums to shed light on the strategies and themes that resonate across a wide array of Asian diasporic practice throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.

Known for her refined forms and profound understanding of clay’s universal capacity for material storytelling, Magdalene Odundo draws influence from a broad compass of historical and contemporary making practices. Her work embodies her research into traditional techniques and vernacular ceramic traditions across the world, exploring diasporic identity and recognising the power of objects as repositories of intercultural meaning. Odundo’s vessels are informed by references as diverse as British studio pottery, ancient ceramics, traditional ceremonial vessels from Kenya and Nigeria and modernist sculpture.
