You’re all invited to Backyard Biennial: East and our exhibition No Place Like Home III

Join us on 10 July 2026 for the opening of the group exhibition No Place Like Home III curated by Hoa Dung Clerget and KV Duong and featuring works by Moi Tran, Alvin Lương, Hiền Hoàng, Nguyễn Thuỷ Tiên and the curators.

The third part in this series of exhibitions centres around an interior garden as a place of exchange. No Place Like Home is a collective exploration of home, focusing on the Vietnamese diasporic house as an intimate, cultural, and political space. In addition to a traditional exhibition, the project centres on workshops, gatherings, and discussions, inviting the public and local communities to reflect and share experiences.

Programmed as part of Backyard Biennial: East by Whitechapel Gallery, the exhibition is supported by SLQS Gallery, Whitechapel Gallery, the Vietnam Art Collection (VAC), the Circles of Art and Pippy Houldsworth Gallery.

Last week to view Beverley Duckworth’s living sculpture grow in the gallery 🌱

From Below by Beverley Duckworth centres on a series of living seed drawings, created by the artist through the act of sowing seeds in intricate patterns on hanging cloth panels. As the seedlings germinate and grow, the artist’s designs slowly unravel through nature writing its own form.

You can listen and watch the recording of the Artist Talks with Beverley Duckworth hosted by the Feminist Lecture Program Director Luisa-Maria MacCormack in collaboration with Sarah Le Quang Sang from SLQS Gallery to hear more about Duckworth’s practice and research. (Link in bio)

Beverley Duckworth From Below at SLQS Gallery: Living Sculptures, Root Networks and the Quiet Power of Resistance

“Beverley Duckworth’s first solo exhibition, From Below, at SLQS Gallery made an impression as one of the most thought-provoking and original exhibitions of London Gallery Weekend 2026. Bringing together living installations, delicate root drawings, preserved archives and politically charged sculptural works, the exhibition is a compelling meditation on ecological systems, activism and the unseen networks that shape both nature and society. [...] With From Below, Beverley Duckworth confirms herself as one of the most exciting emerging artists working in Britain today. Her ability to weave together environmental science, political history, sculptural innovation and living systems results in work that is both deeply personal and universally resonant.”

From Below by Beverley Duckworth offers a timely, materially rich exploration of seeds as a disruptive force. Rooted in the artist’s background as a social and environmental justice campaigner, the exhibition brings together living works, root drawings and preserved archives to reflect on systems in flux, ecological resistance, and quiet reclamation. Immersive and durational, the exhibition invites viewers into a slow unfolding of growth and unmaking.

Alongside the living works, preserved seed drawings act as archives which reveal roots that have traced their own, unexpected paths.

For her solo exhibition From Below, Beverley Duckworth presents ‘root drawings’, a new body of work of wall sculptures.

The exhibition’s focus on subterranean systems extends through root networks mapped onto sites of historic political protest. Encased in copper, a mineral essential to plant life yet toxic in excess, these works articulate the dual capacity of systems to sustain and suppress. The works position the root as both witness and agent, generating alternative cartographies of dissent from below the surface.

Thank you to Paul Carey-Kent for spotlighting us in his column ‘Paul’s Gallery Of The Month’ for FAD Magazine and highlighting our exhibitions with Hoa Dung Clerget, Damaris Athene, Diana Taylor and currently From Below by Beverley Duckworth.

“An air of mystery might be invoked by the titular acronym as you climb two floors close to Arnold Circus in Shoreditch. That’s dispelled once you know that SLQS Gallery was founded – in 2024 – by Sarah Le Quang Sang. In the face of persisting inequalities in the art world, she concentrates explicitly on female and q***r artists. That is to say, I suppose, getting on for 60% of the total, so not all that restrictive – and no bar at all to quality, as is apparent ten shows in. The gallery also looks to disrupt ‘outdated frameworks, such as neatly defined industry classifications “emerging” and “mid-career”, which often exclude artists balancing caregiving responsibilities or working outside conventional timelines’.

[...] The current exhibition is also a winner: Beverley Duckworth sets up an irrigation system to grow seeds in the gallery, leading to changing and residual artworks addressing issues of networking and resistance. Duckworth explains her aim here as creating ‘spaces and moments which connect the smallest poetic gestures of plants with the social and ecological precarity shaping contemporary life’.”

A Morning in Shoreditch with Pei-Yi Tsai: A wonderful review, interview and photographs of Pei-Yi Tsai and her solo exhibition [insert] curated by Senem Cagla-Bilging Keys, by Brynley Odu Davies published by Overstandard.

“This show at SLQS Gallery means a lot to me because it’s my very first solo exhibition in the West. While there are a lot of artists exploring q***r themes right now, I wanted to bring a fresh perspective to the table—specifically, looking at q***r subject matter through an East Asian lens. My hope is to use my own distinct voice and visual language to spark a different kind of conversation within the Western art scene.” - Pei-Yi Tsai

About Beverley Duckworth who is opening her solo exhibition From Below on 4 June 2026 at SLQS Gallery as part of London Gallery Weekend.

Working with living sculpture and installation, Beverley Duckworth creates spaces and moments which connect the smallest, poetic actions of plants with precarious issues facing humanity. Her practice centres on the afterlife of the discarded and is rooted in small acts of reparation - sewing scraps together, watering fragile seedlings and nurturing the regenerative power of composting from waste materials.

Duckworth was born and lives in London and is the winner of the Royal Society of Sculpture’s Gilbert Bayes Award (2025). She was shortlisted for the John Ruskin Prize (2026) and was awarded a studio residency with the Sarabande Foundation (2025). She was selected for New Contemporaries (2024) and UK New Artists City Takeover (2022). She graduated with an MFA (with distinction) from Goldsmiths University (2024). She has exhibited in the UK and internationally in the USA, China and Europe.
