Islands in the City - Royal Over-Seas League


Roisin Jones, Lucky Sight, 2205

London’s Royal Over-Seas League (ROSL) will host Islands in the City, a major new group exhibition of contemporary Caribbean art, co-curated by Sherece Rainford (Gallery OCA) and Louis Chapple (ROSL). Running from 25 September to 9 November 2025, this vibrant and ambitious exhibition brings together 22 leading and emerging artists across painting, sculpture, collage, photography, and mixed media.

At its heart, Islands in the City is a joyful assertion of Caribbean imagination and cultural pride. It explores the richness, resilience, and beauty of Caribbean identity through themes of diaspora, memory, migration, and self-determined creativity.

While Caribbean artists have long been central to shaping cultural expression, opportunities for their work to be commercially and critically elevated in major international centres have remained limited. Islands in the City addresses this gap, presenting what is believed to be the most significant London showcase of contemporary Caribbean artists for sale to date.
