Event details

This event is only open to NTU students.

Book your free place on this guided tour of New Art Exchange's latest exhibitions.

Explore multi-disciplinary artist Adébayo Bolaji's thought-provoking new exhibition, In Praise of Beauty, which delves deep into notions of beauty, questions established norms and embraces more inclusive definitions of beauty.

At the centre of Adébayo's practice is the dialogue of change and the focus of the individual within a connecting society – whether that be anthropological, religious, historical, or popular culture. He has exhibited internationally, with shows in Berlin, London, Zurch, and New York.

Discover Voice Notes, an international art project featuring recorded phone calls left by young refugees and asylum seekers from around the world. This exhibition investigates displaced voice, creative networks, transnational communication, and different modes of talking and listening across culture.

Voice Notes is led by poet Dr Sarah Jackson, Associate Professor in Modern and Contemporary Writing at Nottingham Trent University, in collaboration with acclaimed sound artist and founder of the Space21 international festival Hardi Kurda, and refugee arts organisation Compass Collective, whose recent work includes the award-winning professional development arts programme Next Steps.
