Hackney Downs Studios presents Convergent Matter.⁠

Coming up at Hackney Downs Studios, 16 artists come together for a group exhibition that celebrates the physical act of making through an exploration of topics and ideas including mathematics, relationships and urban satire.

You’re invited to step inside to explore a world showcasing how side-by-side processes inevitably affect each other in the alchemy of a shared studio environment. Where the “matter” of each practice converges through collective proximity, revealing threads between the work when they are exhibited together.⁠

Across oil painting, photography, lino print, graphic design and repurposed industrial materials discover the many artistic styles and practices living within the studios. ⁠

Not one to miss. See you there.⁠

Opening night | Thursday 28th May | 6pm to 9pm⁠
Exhibition open daily until Friday 18th June | 10am to 6pm

As we look back on a remarkable year at Hackney Downs Studios and Lockside Studios, we’re celebrating the outstanding achievements across our community. ⁠

Here at Hackney Downs Studios, innovation has been in focus, evolving the site in response to the needs of our creative community. With the opening of The Gallery marking a standout addition to the Hackney Downs ecosystem, alongside seasonal courtyard events and an expanding mix of wellness, retail and food and drink, the site remained a vibrant hub all year through.⁠

Over at Lockside Studios, momentum built as 2025 marked our first full year since opening. The site came into its own through resident-led moments and cross-disciplinary collaboration, with Simmo’s at its heart, anchoring daily life for both residents and locals⁠.⁠

Looking ahead, we’re excited to see how our spaces continue to evolve and our communities grow. For now, take a look through a handful of moments and milestones that took place over the past 12 months.⁠

Wishing our residents, collaborators and visitors a very Happy New Year.
