History

Established in 1979, October Gallery has promoted the art and artists of the "Transvangarde" – "a concept based on the idea that the true cutting edge is the coming together of the cross-cultural avant-garde"— giving a platform to international artists and experimental literature, including artwork by such significant literary figures as William Burroughs,[2] J. G. Ballard and Lawrence Durrell.[3] The gallery has exhibited the work of artists from more than 65 different countries, and from regions including Africa, Asia, Australia, the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, India and Oceania.[1][3]

October Gallery shows have featured work by such notable international artists as Aubrey Williams, El Anatsui,[4] James Barnor,[5] Sokari Douglas Camp,[6] Eddy Kamuanga Ilunga,[7][8] Naomi Gakunga,[9] Ablade Glover, Romuald Hazoumè, Rachid Koraïchi, and Alexis Peskine.[10]

The co-founder and director of October Gallery is Chili Hawes and the artistic director is Elisabeth Lalouschek.[11]

The gallery marked its 40th anniversary with the publication in 2020 of the book Dream No Small Dream: The Story of October Gallery, which included essays by Chili Hawes, Elisabeth Lalouschek, Niru Ratnam, Dr Chris Spring, Dr Gus Casely-Hayford, Dr Mark Nelson, John Allen, Ian MacFadyen, Professor Paul Goodwin, with photography and design by Jonathan Greet.[12][13]
