SPIRA9 ART

SPIRA9 is an East London–based curatorial platform and art organisation dedicated to supporting established, emerging, and under-represented artists across disciplines. Through exhibitions, editorial projects, and artist development programmes, we build meaningful pathways for visibility, collaboration, and critical dialogue.

Our work encompasses large-scale group exhibitions, intimate solo presentations, and experimental pop-ups, as well as our quarterly publication Re: Art magazine and the ongoing Artist of the Month series. Across these formats, whether practical, research-led, or boldly experimental, we seek to create spaces that highlight distinctive voices at pivotal moments in their practice. Engaging with multimedia, performance, installation, and digital forms, SPIRA9 champions approaches that push against convention and expand the possibilities of contemporary artistic expression.

SPIRA9 has produced more than 10 exhibitions internationally, supported over 2000 artists, and reached audiences across 14 countries through our programming and editorial initiatives. Guided by an artist-centred ethos, we prioritise intersectional perspectives, inclusive frameworks, and sustained engagement with the cultural and technological conditions shaping creative production today. Our mission is to cultivate a contemporary art landscape that is accessible, equitable, and forward-looking—one that supports artists in imagining new ways of seeing, thinking, and being.

Previous projects

  • KAIROS - A Journey Through Space and Time

    Dates: 28/09/2024 — 30/09/2024  |  Venue: Indra Gallery  |  City: London

    KAIROS invites us to rethink time—not as something fixed and linear, but as fluid, shifting, and open to reinterpretation. In a world where time is often seen as rigid and structured, shaping our experiences and locking the past into an unchangeable narrative, KAIROS disrupts this perception. It challenges the idea that time only moves forward, instead offering a space where the present can reshape history. More than just an exhibition, KAIROS is an exploration—an invitation to experience time in new and unexpected ways.
