Harriet Rose Morley - Handicrafts Artist in Residence 2023/24
‘Hard Wear, Soft Wear’ is a new iteration of work by artist Harriet Rose Morley as part of her Handicraft Residency with LU Arts.
Publication launch and discussion
During the conclusion of Morley's Handicrafts Residency, LU Arts held an event bringing together Harriet Morley and Associate Professor in History of Art, Dr Marta Ajmar, for a thought-provoking discussion. The discussion, chaired by Dr David Bell, curator of the University's Arts Collection, explored how institutions, learning environments, and pedagogy interact, especially when viewed through a feminist perspective emphasizing accessibility, collectivity, and care.
Dr Ajmar and Morley examined how learning materials hold persistent knowledge and what deeper insights emerge when these educational relationships are reexamined.
Attendees received a free copy of the publication following the event, further allowing them to reflect on the ideas discussed.
