Fine Art Antiracism Forum speaker series announced
The Fine Art Antiracism Forum formed in October 2020 to discuss ways we in the department can work together towards anti-racism goals and enhance racial literacy amongst staff and students.
As part of this ongoing work, we’re excited to announce a series of talks and seminars which focus on student experience and approaches to teaching and art practice that provide alternatives to contemporary art cultures that privilege whiteness and are founded on racist traditions.

OPEN STUDIOS 2021
OPEN STUDIOS is a great opportunity for our Fine Art community to come together and share some of the incredible work taking place in the department.
If you have not been involved before this is when we tidy up ALL of the studios (UG and MFA) and you present work in progress in your studio space. This year it also coincides with the second week of the Year 4 Interim shows that take place in the all bookable spaces – so lots of exciting stuff happening everywhere in the building.
