Description
inIVA creates exhibitions, publications, multimedia, education and research projects, designed to bring the work of artists from culturally-diverse backgrounds to the attention of the widest possible public. Anchored in the diversity of contemporary British culture and society, inIVA engages with culturally-diverse practices and ideas, both local and global. inIVA invites artists and audiences to question assumptions about contemporary art and ideas. It acts as a catalyst for making these debates and artworks part of mainstream culture. Working collaboratively with a wide range of individuals and organisations, we aim to promote the work of artists, academics and curators from a plurality of cultures and cultural backgrounds; to increase knowledge and understanding of contemporary visual arts in the United Kingdom and abroad, with special emphasis on introducing new audiences to innovative art practice and scholarship of the highest order; to extend the intellectual, social and geographical boundaries of debate on contemporary visual art; and to create opportunities for dialogue, collaboration and exchange of ideas and information about contemporary visual art practice between different cultures and continents.
