Making Space

Celebrate the artistic talent of the University of Leeds student community.

Join us to explore the diverse artwork of twenty-two students. Be inspired by the energy of our student community. Discover works covering a range of themes including nature, identity, activism, and movement.

The artists study across sixteen courses. These include art and design, psychology, engineering, and more. In this exhibition we open up the gallery to different perspectives and experiences. Making space for the student voice.

Making Space is co-curated by student interns Ellie Boyce, Lucy Cameron, Zofia Gmurek, and Rosanna Martin. Curatorial guidance from Courtney Spencer.
