Another Way of Seeing – a multi-sensory art experience in Leeds

An exhibition in Leeds will invite visitors to explore art using different senses, not just sight.

Another Way of Seeing features artworks inside wooden boxes – made to be touched, listened to, smelled, and discovered in surprising ways.

The exhibition is inspired by the work of Audrey Barker (1932–2002), a pioneering disabled artist who explored disability, accessibility, and communication through art. Barker created multi-sensory installations that often used boxes, grids, and frames – many titled Another Way of Seeing.

Songs of Sleep And Prophecy

Join Leeds Guild of Singers for a concert including works by John Sheppard, Kerensa Briggs, C.H.H. Parry and more. 

Including a new work by Martin Suckling commissioned by the Guild in memory of David Eaves.

Interval drinks available.

With thanks to our funders: Vaughan Williams Foundation, Hinrichsen Foundation & Scott Hope.

Broken // Makeshift

An exhibition that celebrates contemporary craft by finding the beauty in everyday objects and explores how our emotional attachment to them can survive a break, fracture, or tear. The show and surrounding programme will highlight modern and historic methods of mending, inviting a conversation about how our relationship to things has changed since the popularisation of mass-production and the recent resurgence of upcycling, repurposing, and repair.

Craft is a powerful tool to unpack our understanding of self through object.

In Touch, with Nature

The vibrancy of a petal. The shape of a leaf. The trace of an artist’s finger. How does nature feel? 

In Touch, with Nature documents the experiences of a group of Leeds women as they explored art and nature on campus.  

The group encountered artworks and objects that celebrate the natural world. Supported by textile artist Ranya Abdulateef, the women experimented with a range of techniques to produce their own responses. The exhibition features some of the objects they encountered along with collaborative artworks inspired by them.
