‘Them and [uz]’: Artist Panel Discussion

Dive deeper into some of the themes and artworks on display in the ‘[uz], [uz], [uz]’ exhibition.

Join us for a special ‘spring up’ panel discussion with artists Simeon Barclay, Kedisha Coakley, Will Hughes, Sam Metz, Beth Smith and Bethany Stead. Gain a fascinating insight into the latest exhibition at The Stanley & Audrey Burton Gallery.

‘[uz], [uz], [uz]: Artists from Working-Class Backgrounds’ is a celebration of the breadth and vitality of work by artists from working-class backgrounds. It features the work of over thirty modern and contemporary artists who were born in or have significant connections to Yorkshire.

The panel discussion will be chaired by exhibition curator Dr Laura Claveria. It is an opportunity to hear from some of the exhibiting artists about their practice, artistic process and thoughts about the exhibition. They will also discuss issues around class inequality and their intersectional experiences around class in the art world.

There will be an opportunity to visit the exhibition before the panel discussion starts at 5.30pm at stage@leeds.
