“BACK TO REALITY” — AN EXHIBITION AT THE ICONIC ANNROY GALLERY
Boundary-pushing fashion and culture publication Hunger Magazine will host Back to Reality, an exhibition and party at the legendary Annroy Gallery in North London. More than just a farewell to the building, the event is a joyful tribute to 35 issues’ worth of creative rebellion, visual storytelling, and fearless talent.
Founded by Rankin in 2011, HUNGER has spent over a decade capturing the cultural pulse always with a wink and a roar. And it all happened at Annroy: that unmistakable glass-and-concrete studio in Kentish Town, equal parts gallery, production house, and creative studio. The space has hosted everyone serving as a launchpad for bold ideas and even bolder imagery. Now, as HUNGER prepares to leave its spiritual home, Back to Reality will celebrate everything that makes the magazine a fixture of independent publishing. The exhibition will feature a curated selection of the magazine’s most iconic covers, shoots, and contributors spanning fashion, music, art, and identity all displayed inside the very studio where it all came to life.
“This isn’t just an exhibition,” said Rankin. “It’s a tribute to the people and moments that shaped HUNGER from the collaborators, misfits, and visionaries who gave the magazine its heart. It’s also a conversation with where we’ve just been. After exploring the future of creativity through my show FaiK Off, this is a celebration of real life, real energy, and what’s coming next.”
The exhibition featured a curated selection of HUNGER’s most unforgettable moments from early covers with Rita Ora, Dua Lipa and Stormzy to bold portraits of Daniel Craig and Debbie Harry. Each image a snapshot of a cultural moment that is unmistakably HUNGER.
