Blenheim Walk Gallery is pleased to present 'Still. Stray. Stowaway.', a solo exhibition by Paula Chambers, curated by Marianna Tsionki. Her sculptural practice interrogates the domestic sphere as a contested site of feminist resistance, material transformation, and personal negotiation. In 'Still. Stray. Stowaway.', Chambers presents a constellation of sculptural assemblages, interventions, and installations that evoke the instability of domestic life and the porous boundaries between public and private spaces.

The exhibition continues her practice-led research into feminist and domestic materialities. Chambers brings together new works alongside previously exhibited pieces developed through her nomadic strategy of transporting artworks in a suitcase. This method allows for site-responsive installations that question the rigidity of institutional frameworks and challenge the notion that art must exist within prescribed, stable environments.

Paula Chambers: Still. Stray. Stowaway is open from 23 May – 27 September 2025 at the Blenheim Walk Gallery, Leeds Arts University.

    Free

    You are invited to join us for a performance event developed out of ideas around the agency of found and domestic objects. Activated by human facilitators, sculptural works in the exhibition will undertake a choreographed series of gestures and actions which explore the boundary between the animate and the inanimate. The event is co-created with Paula Chambers, Leeds Arts University Fine Art students, Nicola Dale (Senior Lecturer, BA (Hons) Fine Art, Leeds Arts University), Amelia Crouch (Lecturer, BA (Hons) Fine Art, Leeds Arts University), and Marianna Tsionki (Associate Professor and University Curator, Leeds Arts University).

    Location: Blenheim Walk Gallery, Leeds Arts University, Blenheim Walk, Leeds LS2 9AQ
