Beyond the Streets

11 November 2026 – 5 May 2027 Saatchi Gallery · Chelsea

Beyond the Streets returns to Saatchi Gallery with an all-new show tracing graffiti, hip-hop and 2Tone into art, fashion and music, with KAWS, Goldie and Damien Hirst.

Beyond the Streets returns to Saatchi Gallery in Chelsea with an all-new exhibition of street culture, from Wednesday 11 November 2026 to Wednesday 5 May 2027. More than 100 artists fill over ten rooms.

The exhibition is the work of Beyond the Streets and its founder and lead curator, Roger Gastman. Its first show at the gallery, in 2023, drew more than 150,000 visitors in three months, according to Gastman.

This edition traces six decades of graffiti, street art, hip-hop and 2Tone, and their reach into art, photography, fashion and music. Many of the works were made for the show.

London runs through the rooms, from a history of graffiti on the Underground to Normski’s photographs of the British hip-hop scene. One room holds the archive of the See Red Women’s Workshop, a London screen-printing studio active from 1974 to 1990.

Other rooms rebuild part of a New York subway train and fill an infinity room with spray paint. Janette Beckman’s photographs anchor a room on the 2Tone movement.

The artists include Goldie, KAWS, Futura 2000, Lady Pink, Shepard Fairey, Jenny Holzer, the Guerrilla Girls and Damien Hirst.
