Can We Stop Killing Each Other? review – a violence-themed show that’s about as dangerous as a garden centre

The recent exhibition at the Sainsbury Centre in Norwich, titled 'Can We Stop Killing Each Other?', raises questions about the role of art in addressing violence. However, many visitors found the experience underwhelming and even frustrating, likening it to a garden centre rather than a thought-provoking display. The exhibition features a calming scent developed in collaboration with a fragrance company, but it seems to have missed the mark in delivering a meaningful message about violence. This matters because it highlights the challenges artists face in tackling serious themes and the expectations audiences have for impactful art.
