20/20 Project: Hannah Sabapathy
20/20 Project: First Cohort of Artists Announced
The Harris is delighted to announce we will be working with talented artist Hannah Sabapathy.
20/20 is an ambitious 3-year programme announced by UAL Decolonising Arts Institute in November 2021. The project supports 20 emerging ethnically diverse artists of colour to take up residencies with 20 public art collections across the country, leading to 20 new permanent acquisitions.

20/20 Project Summary
The artists explore themes around the construction and disruption of identity, self, and heritage, lived experiences of cultural and structural marginalisation, working class communities and environmental concerns. Common threads across their work relate to de/colonisation and colonial trauma, ideas of appropriation, ownership and hybridity and the representation of exile and migration in the UK.
Read More About the 20/20 Project
The 20/20 project was conceived in response to urgent calls for action within arts and culture, to tackle social inequities and racial injustices amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic, and in the wake of Black Lives Matter. A further 12 artists will be brought on board in 2023, pairing a total of 20 artists with 20 UK collections and resulting in 20 new permanent acquisitions over the life of the project.
