Make do Make Space. Hypha Gallery , curated by Nicholas Stavri July 2026

“Make do" speaks to the resourcefulness of artists finding ways to keep working, without big budgets or reliable studio space, while "make space" captures both the literal act of finding and activating a room with art and the broader demand for visibility, recognition, and inclusion. The works on show respond to both the exhibition space and the surrounding urban landscape, sitting with the tension between the city's architecture and the day-to-day life of its inhabitants. At its core, Make Do / Make Space is about people as much as it is about objects. It reflects a community of artists who are not just making sculpture but actively shaping how art is made, shared, and experienced in the confines of a contemporary urban setting.
