About 51 Zero

51zero’s programme focuses on artistic production and exhibition of moving image and related contemporary art practice.

51zero partners with cultural organisations in the UK and overseas to present, curate and commission programmes that engage in international collaboration, delivering three core strands:

51zero/MAPP (Medway Artists Portrait Platform) showcases and maps the creative talents of artists based across Medway – from those in the early stages of their careers, to those who are internationally renowned presented through filmed portraits made by 51zero’s Artistic Director, Margherita Gramegna. MAPP advocates for the value of the artist’s role in local urban and cultural regeneration.

Medway Superstars – Stage 1 of this ambitious project is funded by Arts Council England,

51zero/voyager  presents a programme of touring activities, events, and projects
through partnership and co-production that support artists and engages
audiences across Kent, the UK and beyond.

51zero/festival showcases biennially international artists and filmmakers whose practice sits between contemporary art and cinema. Established practitioners are exhibited alongside new talent, in alternative venues, public settings and gallery spaces, collaborating with the community to bridge the gap between the art and people, contributing to the cultural landscape of Kent.

51zero have a successful track record of creating platforms for exposure and opportunities for emerging talent, engaging young people in activities meaningful for their professional development.

51zero is embedded in the area; it takes its name from the geographical coordinates of Medway.
