Step into a world of bold visuals, fresh perspectives, and powerful storytelling with Reframe: New Perspectives in Photography at The Mill Gallery.

Join us for the launch of a beautiful new exhibition in The People’s Gallery, celebrating the quiet, fleeting moments that often go unnoticed in our daily lives. Through a series of evocative street scenes, intimate portraits, and glimpses of ordinary life, Bramley-based photographer Paul Abraham invites us to pause, slow down, and see the world with fresh eyes.
If self-publishing and football fanzines hadn’t exploded in the late 80s then the landscape we inhabit, the grounds we attend, and the fandom that exists today would have been very different. This talk, from Pete Slater, is about the many, varied football fanzines, the creators, the media personalities who started them, the stories behind the names of fanzines, the varied links to music and the huge influence the football fanzines that were created 50-60 years ago had on changing culture then and shaping the media and arts today.

The Wild Moon Folk Collective:
Wild Moon Folk Collective are a rallying point for the experimental, trad-, and alt-folk scene in Leeds and beyond. We are musicians, artists, communicators and producers with a drive to make powerful, beautiful and arresting folk experiences. We meet regularly to share ideas, push the form and create art that we might struggle to achieve on our own.
In this three-hour workshop, the broom is used as a central axis connecting the archetypes of the witch and the housemaid.
Facilitated by artists Eisa Jocson and Venuri Perera, the broom becomes a tool for playful transformation and somatic exploration.
Participants explore what it means to extend oneself through the broom, becoming one and becoming wild. Together, we’ll focus on the power of intention through movement and collectivity, and investigate the spectrum of beauty and monstrosity.
The body as work and destiny. What do I have to say? Could I use fiction to help it? Where does autobiography begin, enter, exit, end?
This workshop investigates the possibilities of constructing fiction from autobiographical elements and the idea of the divided self.
Led by choreographers and artists Amrita Hepi and Bakani Pick-Up, experiment with making work from historical obsessions, post-colonial narratives, dance and images.
In a 21st Century world where connection and identity have become abstract concepts associated with nationhood and ideology rather than humanity, how do we reconnect with the essence of what it means to be human?
For this exhibition artist Jay Gadhia explores the Hindu concept of Darshan (दर्शन), the act of seeing and being seen, through his artworks. Here, as in Hinduism, the visual encounter with the artefact becomes a transformative experience for the beholder.
