Radical Joy is a vibrant new exhibition celebrating the rich history and enduring impact of outdoor arts across the UK.
Spanning community arts, street theatre, carnival, agitprop, and radical performance, the exhibition explores artistic work created for public spaces including parks, civic squares, streets, shopping centres, and other everyday environments. Outdoor arts
thrive where traditional boundaries are blurred.
They invite participation, spark curiosity, and create moments of shared experience. Whether audiences are dancing, twirling, watching, or joining in, these performances transform public spaces into places of connection, creativity, and collective joy.
Through immersive displays, stories, objects, and film, Radical Joy traces how artists have used public space as a platform for expression and engagement from the 1960s to the present day. Visitors can discover how creative interventions have helped communities
reclaim and reimagine shared spaces, creating opportunities for celebration, activism, and belonging.
