Gifted: Selected Artworks from the SOAS Collections

09 Oct, 2025 - 13 Dec, 2025
‘Gifted’ is an exhibition drawing upon SOAS's remarkably rich but relatively little-known art collection. Concentrating on modern and contemporary artworks, it displays a selection of works given as gifts and donations to SOAS and provides the opportunity to share and display many of these for the first time to encourage wider engagement with the SOAS Object and Artwork Collection.

By the nature of their acquisition the collection and included works here are eclectic, but they have in common that they have all been donated to SOAS in recognition of its standing as a global institution for the study of Africa, Asia and the Middle East. They range from paintings given by artists, guest curators and collectors who have exhibited in the SOAS Gallery to items gifted by members of the public, staff and alumni in appreciation of the quality of their experiences here.
