The Sluice Biennial is a collaborative platform that merges the visions of artist/curator-run and emerging galleries from London, with those of compatible art galleries and projects from around the world. It prioritises artists, curation and

collaboration over strictly art-market interests by focusing on curatorial rigour, DIY ethos, and collaborative programming. This year the Sluice Biennial has strategically sited itself in Hackney Central to confront and examine the role of the arts in regeneration and how artists impact and contribute to society. The Sluice Biennial will create a hub of artistic activities over four days and multiple venues. It will present artistic practice as an investigation and promote self-initiated galleries, projects & discussion, all within the context of the global community. With a diverse range of galleries & projects at the Biennial, there will be a large programme of exhibitions, live-performances, screenings and moderated talks.
