Nan Goldin is to receive a major retrospective at The Southbank Centre’s Hayward Gallery in November 2026.

Titled You Never Did Anything Wrong, the show marks Goldin’s first institutional exhibition in the UK since 2002.

Goldin is renowned for her photographic and slideshow works documenting her personal relationships, addiction struggles and the queer communities she occupied within Reagan-era America.

More recently, she was the subject of an Oscar-nominated documentary by Laura Poitras, All the Beauty and the Bloodshed (2022), documenting the artist’s organisation P.A.I.N. (Prescription Addiction Intervention Now), founded in 2017 to confront the art world’s endorsement of the Sackler family. In July of last year, she used her acceptance speech at the 2025 Women in Motion Awards, at the Recontres d’Arles festival, as a heartfelt statement of solidarity with Palestine.
