Director Jago Cooper's Introduction | Can We Stop Killing Each Other | Sainsbury Centre

Our 2025 autumn season of exhibitions wrestles with one of the darkest and deadliest aspects of humanity, asking: Can We Stop Killing Each Other? The series of exhibitions explores the fundamental questions of why humans are led to kill and the culture that wrestles with this notion such as in art, film, TV and theatre. Hear from the Sainsbury Centre’s director Jago Cooper, on the overarching season and the five exhibitions exploring this question. Reflecting on the real material culture linked to particular case studies from the past and present, such as the Holocaust and the Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda of 1994, the season will be a challenging but eye-opening consideration of some of the most horrifying events in human history. A series of new paintings by Ethiopian artist Tesfaye Urgessa (b.1983) have been unveiled, reflecting on the refugee crisis and created in dialogue with the Sainsbury Centre collection. Influenced by neo-expressionism and the London school, Urgessa’s figurative paintings explore the politics of race and identity. This season has been developed in consultation with partners to provide a sensitive presentation of artworks to foster empathy and understanding through compassionate dialogue.
