Programmes

Studio Voltaire's programmes champion emerging and under-represented practices. Placing great emphasis on risk-taking, experimentation and support for artists, our pioneering exhibitions, collaborative projects, artist development, live events and offsite commissions have an important local and international reach.

Exhibitions

A dimly lit room features a large, semi-transparent screen with a shadowy projection of a floating dragon-shaped restaurant. The screen spans the width of the room, while the floor and surrounding walls are dark, adding to the mysterious ambiance.
