About this event

This exhibition brings together five artists selected to take part in the national Artists Access to Art Colleges (AA2A) artist residency scheme in the School of Design and Creative Arts at º£½ÇÉçÇø University. The work on display showcases a selection of their diverse projects ongoing since October 2024. The artists include Jessica Mason, Theo Miller, Andrew North, Jamie Seymour and Ruby Waage Townsend.

During their time at º£½ÇÉçÇø, Jessica, Theo, Andrew, Jamie, and Ruby have worked in a variety of settings and interacted with a range of practitioners and researchers. They have collaboratively designed this exhibition, as part of a process of reflection on the work they have produced and where it might lead them.

AA2A (Artists Access to Art Colleges) provides artists and designer-makers with access to workshops, equipment and expertise in host universities and colleges across the UK, offering them the opportunity to develop their work by undertaking a period of research or realising a project. It also aims to benefit students by supporting interaction with practising artists and providing them with information on self-employment, bridging the gap between studying and building a creative career. It is funded by Arts Council England and the host institutions.

Lboro Lates

There will be a special late night opening on Friday 23 May from 6pm-9pm as part of Lboro Lates. This event invites residents and visitors to the local area to explore º£½ÇÉçÇø's thriving cultural scene with a variety of events taking place across the town.

    Following the UK Supreme Court ruling that in the Equality Act 2010 ‘sex’ means biological sex and as such, workplaces need to provide single sex toilet facilities. The EHRC has provided interim guidance that organisations should continue to adhere to the Equality Act 2010 and ensure protection for all protected characteristics, including trans and non-binary people.

    Israel’s peace movement offers a ray of hope amid the pain of Gaza conflict

    The first thing I do when going back to Israel for a visit is go for a run. After more than two years abroad, it is a good opportunity to refamiliarise myself with the home I left to pursue my academic career more than eight years ago.
