.- On Hannah Arendt: The Modern Age takes its title from the first chapter of Arendts 1968 book Between Past and Future. In the preface, Arendt links thinking together with remembrance and storytelling. Remembrance is understood by Arendt to be one of the most important modes of thought, one that requires storytelling in order to preserve those small hidden islands of freedom.

Its unwavering dedication to Feminist and Conceptual artists particularly from the 1970s onwards has inevitably imbued its programme with a strong political focus, and the gallerys curatorial approach has been guided by a vision to serve a wider societal purpose.
