About

Science Gallery London is a place to grow new ideas across art, science and health. A part of King’s College London, we’re the university’s flagship public gallery situated on King’s Guy’s Campus next to London Bridge station.

As a university-based gallery, we try to spark new ways of thinking about some of the most complex contemporary challenges we face. The work we share here emerges from dialogue and collaborations between communities of artists, academics, students, young people, activists, local organisations and more.

The Gallery brings together a breadth of perspectives to shape and share a programme of exhibitions, residencies, workshops, open discussions, festivals, performances and live research.

Entry to all of our exhibitions and events is free. Our doors are open for you to explore.

Our constituent model

Our programme is the product of dialogue and collaboration across four constituent groups:

  • The research community at King’s
  • The student community at King’s
  • 18 – 25 year olds in our local boroughs of Lambeth and Southwark
  • Artists and the creative community across sectors

Principles

The following principles inform the decisions we make about programming, supporting and platforming people and projects:

  • Bridging gaps – is there a breadth of perspectives? Are we bringing together new groups of collaborators within and across our constituencies?
  • Equitable relationships – are we valuing both lived and professional experiences? Whose perspectives might be missing? Are relationships rooted in reciprocity and curiosity?
  • Public experience – is there an engaging, inventive, playful public experience? Is this the best format for the project’s intentions?
  • Research and education – does this have a focus on a contemporary or future social issue? Is it opening up and sharing King’s research and education?
  • Reflective practice – is there clarity about this project’s intent? Do we have a means of understanding and learning from its impact?
