Exhibitions:
Observer Short Story Graphic Prize 2018, Orbital Comics. For the last few years, Orbital Gallery has been very pleased to host a series of exhibitions featuring the finalists from the prestigious Observer Graphic Short Story Prize, a fine showcase for upcoming British cartoonists. Previous winners have included Stephen Collins, creator of The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil and Julian Hanshaw, who created Tim Ginger. This year will continue the great tradition, and we'll be displaying the work of as many finalists as we can fit in the gallery this November between the 7th and 18th, with the winner scheduled to be announced in the Observer newspaper on November 11th.

I Object, British Museum.

See what tales these objects tell – sometimes deadly serious, often humorous, always with conviction. Unlock the messages and symbols these people used, and get closer to understanding them.
