 The University of Leicester invited artists to take part in its British Science Week through the Brief Encounters initiative, hosting 8 Mini Science/Art Residencies. Artists were invited to spend time with University of Leicester scientists in their environment and to share each other’s practices, culminating in this exhibition. The Brief Encounters initiative is led by Professor Turi King (UoL), the late event will be a chance to meet some of the artists involved.

Tragically Alex ended her life in August 2016. In memory of Alex, some members of her foundation class have got together to raise awareness and funds for a mental health charity. We will be holding an exhibition of our work, and a public Art auction where money raised will be donated to the charity Maytree. Please do come along to the Mental Wealth Festival at City Lit, where the wider programme will have something for everyone.
