Beneath the Rift explores what emerges when the surface of the world begins to split. Every environment carries fractures, whether in the skin of a city, the fault lines of a community, or the quiet ruptures within soil and the self. Rather than treating cracks as damage to be repaired, the exhibition considers them as openings into parallel spaces of memory, vulnerability, transformation, and resistance.

Through painting, sculpture, installation, photography, moving image, and performance, the participating artists trace the unseen forces shaping contemporary life: migration, precarity, ecological change, distance, longing, and belonging.

The works move between the personal and the collective, the physical and the psychological, revealing landscapes that exist both around us and beneath us. They do not attempt to seal the rift. Instead, they hold it open, inviting audiences to step into the in-between and imagine new forms of connection that can only emerge when the surface breaks.

Open: 17th July – 22nd August 2026, Tuesday – Saturday, 11am – 7pm (closed from 2.15 – 3pm)

Address: Hypha x Eastern City Studios, 130 Fenchurch Street, London EC3M 5LY
