Step into a colourful world of talking fruit, ancient poems and bold ideas at The Contest of the Fruits, a playful and powerful new exhibition by art collective Slavs and Tatars.

Blending animation, rap, and calligraphy, it brings a 19th-century Uighur poem to life as a lively debate between thirteen fruits. With striking visuals, vibrant sound and thought-provoking stories, this is a fun and fascinating way to explore language, identity and culture.
