Whitechapel Gallery is a well-established arts institution in London's East End that centers its activities on contemporary art within a museum-like setting. Founded in 1901 to enrich East London's cultural life, it maintains local roots while engaging with audiences and artists worldwide through exhibitions and collaborations. The gallery presents works by artists from across the globe, including those from China, Brazil, and the Islamic world. It emphasizes local artists and communities, including many migrants, and seeks to make contemporary art accessible to broad audiences through a bold and distinctive programme that foregrounds ideas and dialogue. A recent development is the appointment of Mariana Mazzucato as Economist-in-Residence in 2026, reflecting the gallery's broader interdisciplinary engagement and international partnerships.
