Marking Hackney Foodbank’s 10th anniversary, Through the Lens is a new exhibition featuring photographs taken by visitors of the food bank. Over the summer, Hackney Foodbank worked with photographer and Hackney local Jenny Matthews to run a photography project, bringing together a group of visitors to the food bank each week to learn the craft of photography with cameras provided. The visitors would then go out and shoot pictures as they went about their daily lives, the result being this exhibition which features two of the food bank’s regulars, Angela and Daniel. Pat Fitzsimons, Chief Executive Officer of Hackney Foodbank, says she believes the exhibition will “fuel conversations around what action can be taken by everyday people to support those in our communities who are struggling during extremely challenging times.”

Who gets to decide what’s appropriate for public consumption? This is the question asked by Unit London’s latest exhibition, Sensitive Content, which brings together the work of artists, like Renee Cox, Penny Slinger, Micol Hebron, and Pussy Riot, who’ve experienced censorship first-hand. From sex to politics, each artist featured in the show infuses nuanced perspectives and taboo subject matter into their practice. As a result, their work has been censored in some way – either through seizure or, more recently, online flagging. With the collection of artworks on display spanning decades, Sensitive Content explores what has and hasn’t changed since the rise of post-World War II civil rights movements; and shines a light on work that explores the marginalised viewpoints that pose a threat to mainstream narratives.

The courtyard at Somerset House will become home to an impressive large-scale artwork by interdisciplinary artist Grada Kilomba called O Barco/The Boat. Working with themes of memory, trauma, gender and postcolonialism, Kilomba has crafted this 32-metre-long installation out of 140 charred blocks of wood aligned to outline the ‘hold’ of a historical European slave ship. O Barco/The Boat both invites visitors to explore and walk inside of ‘the boat’ and to reconsider the ideas and imagery often associated with a boat which may evoke images of glory, freedom and maritime ‘discoveries’ – ultimately, a false narrative. The static work will come to life with two free live performances of music and dance designed and directed by the artist, with musical production by award-winning writer and musician Kalaf Epalanga.

The V&A always hosts mega fashion exhibitions and this year they’re taking on menswear with the Fashioning Masculinities show. The exhibition will highlight the diversity and artistry of men’s fashion, from European courts during the Renaissance to contemporary designers. Around 100 outfits, including pieces designed by Harris Reed, Grace Wales Bonner and Gucci and looks worn by Harry Styles, David Bowie and Billy Porter, will be on display alongside photographs, film, sculptures and paintings.

After her pumpkin-filled Infinity Room caused lengthy queues at the Victoria Miro gallery in 2016, Yayoi Kusama returns with another major exhibition, this time at the Tate Modern. Two of her installations – the large Infinity Mirrored Room – Filled with the Brilliance of Life and Chandelier of Grief, which gives the illusion of endless rotating chandeliers – this year. The rooms will be presented alongside a small collection of photographs, some of which will be going on display for the very first time.
