Exhibition Opening - [uz], [uz], [uz]: Artists from Working-Class Backgrounds

Join us to celebrate the opening of this landmark group exhibition

‘[uz], [uz], [uz]’ 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. Their works range in medium, including painting, sculpture, photography, drawing, installation and film.  

The exhibition is also a challenge to class-related prejudices and stereotypes. Whilst privileging working-class voices, ‘[uz], [uz], [uz]’ aims not to reduce artists’ practice to their class. Instead, we recognise and celebrate the complexity of their realities and experiences. 

The exhibition will be open from 5.30pm until 7.30pm. Speeches will be at 6pm. Refreshments provided.
