Leeds Arts University has a large and exciting exhibitions programme held at Blenheim Walk Gallery.
Our curatorial programme is an educational, cultural, and research component of Leeds Arts University. As University Gallery, the Blenheim Walk contributes significantly to the institution’s research and educational curriculum, with a dynamic public programme of exhibitions, publications, talks, commissions, performances, symposia, across our two campuses and satellite display spaces.
In response to a global moment of environmental and sociopolitical crisis, our curatorial programme invites local and international artists, curators, researchers, and academics to present their research-practice on the most pressing challenges of contemporaneity. Our programme provides opportunities for cultural engagement with practices examining the past, shaping the present and imagining the future of the relationship between human societies and the natural environment.
Our gallery endeavour to engage a diverse audience from the university community to local and international visitors through its curatorial programmes, collections, research and educational projects, prioritising community engagement, practice-based research excellence, aesthetic and knowledge production.
Previous exhibitions include presentations by Radha D’Souza and Jonas Staal, Marwa Arsanios, Kyriaki Goni, The School of Mutants, Oliver Ressler, Ilana Halperin, Yoko Ono and Mieke Bal as well as research projects on decolonial ecologies by Marianna Tsionki and Mariana Cunha, embodied dreaming by Sheila Gaffney, feral domesticity by Paula Chambers, consumer culture research by Dawn Woolley, and an experimental graduate project by performance artist and writer Samra Mayanja.
