Many Rivers

Rene Matić

  • Exhibition

Event overview

Rene Matić's new FVU commission Many Rivers launches at South London Gallery this autumn. It forms part of their solo exhibition upon this rock, which represents a further continuation of Matić's work on subculture, family and British identity.

Many Rivers is an intimate, moving portrait of the artist’s father, Paul, and the struggles he has faced, that opens out into a stark and sobering exposure of the divisive, destructive strictures of race and class in post-war Britain.

Many Rivers (2022) by Rene Matić was commissioned by Film and Video Umbrella as part of BEYOND #2.
