QM Visual Arts Collective

About

For many of the artists involved, this will be the first time their work has been exhibited. The exhibition comprises of photography, painting, print, illustration, video and sculpture, representing the broad range of artistic practice within the university. There is no art department at Queen Mary but students study and draw inspiration from subjects from politics, geography, to business and the sciences, resulting in the diverse show that we are putting on. The exhibition reflects the breadth of interest and experience within the student body, and we are proud to include projects and performances spanning a range of issues, from feminism and mental health to contemporary politics. 

We hope that the show will inspire future students to work collaboratively and continue to hold annual exhibitions as we believe that it is important to encourage artistic practice as a part of life, particularly in higher education where it is easily neglected due to the demands of academia.
