To celebrate UK/Korea 2017–18 Creative Futures, The Art of Dissonance brings together 26 artworks from the British Council Collection by 16 contemporary artists from a diversity of backgrounds and generations. The works in this exhibition examine the social, political and cultural events that have shaped British artistic practice since the 1980s. Rather than focusing on historic narrative, participating artists explore the differences derived from social class and identity, and the negotiation of political and social division, through their individual practices, voices and artworks.
