Antepavilion is an art charity in London, known for its extensive legal battles with the Hackney London Borough Council over its various art exhibits.[1] The charity holds an annual design competition, commissioning a temporary structure to be installed at a site on the Regent's Canal, and also funds "art-craft-architecture" research, stages artistic and political events, and manages artist studio spaces.[2]

In 2021 the charity's site was raided by London police, who arrested staff and seized equipment.[3] London police claimed that one of the commissioned works that year was similar in design to bamboo towers constructed by protest group Extinction Rebellion.[4]
