Following acclaimed presentations at both Spike Island (Bristol) and Nottingham Contemporary (Nottingham), Whitechapel Gallery brings this major survey exhibition of the late British multi-media artist Donald Rodney to London.

Whitechapel Gallery announces exhibition programme for 2024-2025, showcasing Donald Rodney, Hamad Butt, Joy Gregory and more.
