We were pleased to host the launch of Beauty Fall by Sabrina Tirvengadum on 29 April 2026 at SPACE Ilford.

The exhibition transforms the gallery into ‚a satirical beauty salon’, featuring AI-generated beauty ads, a face-morphing mirror and installations exposing colonial influences on algorithmic beauty standards.

Through photography, AI, installation and archival material, Beauty Fall examines how idealised beauty standards shape identity, self-perception and our connection to ancestry.

The exhibition continues until 10 October 2026.

Admission is free and all are welcome.
