Echoes of Us

🕙 Opening Hours: 10 AM - 5 PM, Tuesday to Sunday, and Bank Holiday Monday
🎟️ Admission: FREE

Explore a powerful series of works from the Government Art Collection in an ambitious display organized around themes of Belonging, Memory, and Connection. 'Echoes of Us' places art in conversation with profound questions about the human experience:

• Where do we belong?
• What does it mean to revisit a place, a person, or a feeling?
• How do the connections we make shape who we are?
• What do our memories hold and leave behind?

Spanning work from the 17th century to the present day, this exhibition brings together painters, sculptors, photographers, and installation artists in unexpected dialogue. It has been shaped through conversations and workshops with a diverse group of teenagers and young adults from Plymouth over the last 12 months.

Featuring internationally celebrated names such as Barbara Hepworth, Cornelia Parker, and Chris Ofili, alongside dynamic contemporary artists including Phoebe Boswell, Alvaro Barrington, and Alberta Whittle. A new commission from artist collective Keiken, titled Future Artefact, takes the form of an embossed fibreglass triptych, inviting visitors to touch the work and experience belonging and communication beyond language.

The Box is free to visit, but to enjoy priority access to our exhibitions, we encourage visitors to book a ticket in advance.
