Professor Simone Wonnacott, Vice-Chancellor Leeds Arts University said:

Step into a world of bold visuals, fresh perspectives, and powerful storytelling with Reframe: New Perspectives in Photography at The Mill Gallery. This vibrant group exhibition brings together over 20 photographic works that challenge expectations, twist familiar scenes, and reimagine how we see the world.

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.

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.

We welcome David Cemmick as our guest for September, and sincerely hope you can view his fascinating pieces.

David’s work includes large-scale public commissions, and he has exhibited extensively, in the UK and overseas. Based in Cumbria, many roles have inspired his art, such as ​​ taxidermist, conservationist, illustrator, scientific field recorder, commercial figurine designer, lecturer and teacher, and figurative and animal artist. Recycling is another passion, including tearing and glueing deconstructed cardboard.
