Dear Colleagues and Students,
We are delighted to invite you all to the following exhibition.
Celebrating the Ties that Bind us Together Student Exhibition
This illustration work, produced by Level two students, on the BA (Hons) Illustration degree programme, represents their responses to a project brief, hosted by Southside Music and Events Venue which required that each student to produce two street posters aimed at celebrating the lives and contributions made by immigrants, working or living on the southern side of Lincoln’s high street.
The brief, centred around inclusion and multiculturalism, draws attention, among students, to the valuable contributions immigrants make to our country. Responding to recent events, politics, social media and mainstream media, this feeds well into the University’s broader strategic intentions for inclusion.
The exhibition consists of a broad range of work reflecting the differing levels of experience and ability among the students, frequently challenging but always an individual perception of the space where other cultures cross boundaries with Lincoln.
Lincoln is becoming a much more multicultural city and this project was constructed to reflect that and the issues that arise within it. People come for many reasons: to study, to work, to stay a while, to stay forever. The broader “The Ties That Bind Us” project, conceived and run by Southside, focuses on specific communities and cultures and their cultural needs, promoting social cohesion, civic pride and better understanding.
6.00pm | 6th March 2025 | Southside, Colegrave Street, Lincoln, LN5 8DW
