An ongoing thread in Rudy Loewe’s practice is considering the ways that people gather in times of crisis, such as through the ongoing COVID pandemic, or as a means of trans resistance. In this lecture, Loewe will share recent collective and individual projects that question what might be made possible from collectivity in the face of scarcity and domination.

Rudy Loewe (b. London, 1987) is a multidisciplinary artist who blends painting, drawing, and sculpture to examine a complex web of socio-political dynamics. Through their work, Loewe brings to life histories unearthed through archival research and interviews.

In 2025, Loewe will be the ninth exhibiting artist for the Art on the Underground Brixton Mural Programme. Their upcoming work will honour the historic role that Brixton has played as a gathering space, particularly for London’s black communities, adding another layer to Loewe’s ongoing exploration of culture, identity, resistance and collective memory.
