Prejudice in Power: Contesting the Pseudoscience of Superiority

27 February–12 December 2025, 9:00–17:00 | UCL Student Centre

This exhibition explores how eugenics marginalised voices and created structural inequalities which still impact us today. Taking a critical look at UCL’s historical ties to eugenics, it also explores a parallel but untold story of resistance and dissent.

The exhibition showcases the outputs of the Prejudice in Power programme, through which communities marginalised by eugenic thinking had the opportunity to respond creatively to UCL’s eugenics legacy. Works produced include artworks, zines, social media content, film and performance pieces.
