In the Sight of God

Prashant Kansara is showing In the Sight of God at The Herbert Art Gallery & Museum in Coventry, which runs from Tuesday 13 October to Sunday 8 November 2026. It's a drop-in exhibition, so you can pop in whenever suits you rather than booking a specific slot.

The show brings together more than 100 drawings from a series Kansara began back in October 2023. Each one is a separate piece, but they're meant to be seen as a whole. The work takes on the collective political and societal acceptance of the horrors that war and genocide inflict on children, and the scale of the collection is part of that: each drawing stands as a testimony to the levels of suffering witnessed daily, and together they build into a stark visual archive of innocent lives destroyed and made invisible. It's the kind of thing that asks you to look at the moral cost of indifference and silence.

Because it's a drop-in, there's no need to plan your visit around a set time—you can just turn up and take your own time with the drawings. Entry is included with general admission to the museum, so if you're already planning a day at The Herbert, this is something you can add to it without any extra cost. It runs until 8 November, so there's plenty of room to fit it in over the autumn.
