OverviewP21 Gallery, located in Somers Town, is a London-based charitable trust promoting contemporary Arab art and culture. P21 Gallery is also committed to creating visibility for Arab artists worldwide. Their residency programme, reACT, offers invaluable opportunities for emerging and student artists to contribute their talents and artwork to help build and strengthen cultural ties and to facilitate dialogues between the East and West on terms designed by a younger generation.

These include conferences, workshops, lectures, and film screening. A specialised café serves the general public. |
