Focus is a project that unites the work of diverse artists to foster dialogue and showcase a wide range of perspectives. The three artists—Valerie Asiimwe Amani, Jermaine Francis, and Sunil Shah— will exhibit work during the inaugural DEPOT event.

Focus brings together the work of Valerie Asiimwe Amani , Jermaine Francis, and Sunil Shah to explore interconnected themes of identity, culture, and history. Their diverse practices intertwine to create a rich dialogue, reflecting on personal and collective experiences through a contemporary lens.

Focus sits within the context of DEPOT, a pioneering new three-day art event in Oxford. The event brings together artist-led commercial galleries, individual artists, and the non-profit arts charity Fusion Arts for a unique collaborative experience that introduces new voices from the contemporary art world to the city. The 2024 edition features nine national galleries selected by invitation, along with solo presentations by international contemporary artists.
