For All At Last Return: Oceans as Archive & Imagination at Baltic Centre

The exhibition For All At Last Return, located at the Baltic Centre in Gateshead, will be open until 7 June 2026. It invites attendees to engage with marine environments through a variety of artistic forms. The show delves into the oceans as sites of historical conflict, ecological issues, and human influence, highlighting themes of extraction, colonialism, and environmental transformation. Featured artists include Monira Al Qadiri, Michele Allen, Bianca Bondi, Shezad Dawood, Taloi Havini, Michael Toisuta, Joan Jonas, Otobong Nkanga, Katja Novitskova, Kristina Õllek, Leticia Ramos, and Emilija Škarnulytė. By contrasting colonization and extraction with regeneration and cultural memory, the exhibition underscores the human impact on marine ecosystems, creating an immersive atmosphere that resonates with the essence of submerged currents.
