Schoeni Projects, London is pleased to present disCONNECT, an exhibition transforming a South London townhouse – currently under renovation – with new site-specific works from ten urban artists working across seven countries. The exhibition runs in-person from 24 July – 24 August and online from 31 August, 2020. It is presented in close collaboration with HKwalls – a Hong-Kong based non-profit arts organisation that aims to create opportunities for local and international artists to showcase their talent through the mediums of street art and street culture.

Full list of participating artists:
Adam Neate (UK); Aida Wilde (Iran); Alex Fakso (Italy); Mr.Cenz (UK); David Bray (UK) Herakut (Germany); Icy and Sot (Iran); Isaac Cordal (Spain); Vhils (Portugal); Zoer (Italy).

Opening during the COVID-19 pandemic, the exhibition is adapted to not only adhere to lock-down restrictions, but also to reflect on the creative and physical constraints of the current global crisis, exploring psychological and political reactions, as well as the role of technology as conduit between the two.
