MIMA Exhibition (2025)
Current Project
Desire Lines: Art, Place & Possibilities.
27 November 2025 – 12 April 2026
Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art
This exhibition reflects on the regional history of creativity within the Tees Valley. It asks how creativity continues to shape the region while connecting to global perspectives and ideas. Experience new work by artists Claire A. Baker and Will Hughes, recipients of the Tees Valley Artist of the Year Award and a visual mapping of the region’s culture and creativity, from past to present to future.
Claire presents personal memorial works made with emotions of loss and grief, experienced during the pandemic and the continuing war on Ukraine. She has worked an invisible, ethereal, intangible aura of love and hope around memories of a people through tiny pieces of treasure.
