RUYA explores the pressing issues of today through global, contemporary art. Our thematic approach looks to the shared human experience and to the artists exploring it. 

**Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document** 

Our mission is delivered in a number of ways through exhibitions, publications and online content. We have a roaming exhibition programme that allows us to be truly global. A RUYA exhibition takes a topic that is common to the human condition and unpacks its significance across material culture, drawing on history and literature as well. We establish relationships with established and emerging international artists, and work with them to develop ideas and new commissions.
