Art Exhibition and Programme Launch for the Cugoano Changemakers
Changemaker Lens is the storytelling strand of the Cugoano Changemakers Programme. It invites young people from around the UK and abroad, to tell the truth of their lived experience through photography, film, art, and creative expression. Launching in London in May 2026, it forms the heart of an emerging global ecosystem of youth leadership.
Where and when will it take place?
The Changemaker Lens exhibition will be held at St James’s Church on Tuesday 26th May 6pm-8pm.
The Exhibition
21 young artists have been selected to exhibit their work at an exhibition in London in May 2026, with cultural institutions, funders, and practitioners in attendance. The exhibition will later be shown in New York in September.
This exhibition sits at the heart of what we’re trying to build.
Through photography, film, and other creative forms, these artists are sharing their own perspectives, experiences and responses to the issues shaping their lives – from injustice and inequality to identity, community and leadership. Just as importantly, their work speaks not only to the challenges, but to the ways they are already trying to respond, organise, and create change.
The evening will include:
The exhibition itself, with opportunities to meet and speak with the artists
A small number of guest speakers who will share exciting insights into the development of the Cugoano Changemakers programme, and why this work is so urgently needed now
Food and drink, and time to connect with others across our network
Most importantly, this event marks the moment we open applications to the Cugoano Changemakers programme – a new initiative focused on supporting young people to develop as thoughtful, creative and accountable leaders.
