For centuries, sculpture has been a site of encounter between history, myth and materials. Fragment and Form continues this by bringing together three contemporary artists Emii Alrai (b. 1993), Mónica Mays (b. 1990), Dominique White (b. 1993) in an exhibition that explores heritage, displacement and the ways in which personal and collective histories are preserved, marginalised and contested through materiality.

An exhibition of textile works by Jan Doherty and photographs by Ellis Roome. Our exhibition explores living in two places; Jan between County Durham and Leeds; Ellis between Leeds and Liverpool. Each of our homes has its own rhythm and holds part of us within, familiarity, comfort, different perspectives and inspiration.
Welcome to the number one exhibition on number twos.
This summer, we’re lifting the lid on bums, tums and stinky science to answer your most potty-mouthed questions about poo!
Through recreated smells (oh yes!), touch and discovery, POO! will flush out the science behind one of the body’s most remarkable (and messy) functions.
Why does poo smell? What colour should it be? How much poo is there in the world? This fun and fascinating family exhibition gets to the bottom of digestion, responding to questions from children at Harehills Primary School.
Join us at Patrick Studios to explore Practice holds Discovery, a new group show of works created by artists and designers undertaking PhD Practice Research at the University of Leeds.
Practice holds Discovery brings together a diverse set of practices shaped through ongoing processes of making and inquiry, from practitioners based in the School of Design and the School of Fine Art, History of Art and Cultural Studies.
Experience the beauty and variety of Indonesian fabrics in this display of batiks from the Coleman Collection.
Batik, a wax resist method of decorating cloth, has developed as a craft in many parts of Asia and Africa. But it is in Indonesia, and in particular the island of Java, where this technique has reached its height. Indonesian batik is even recognised on UNESCO's List of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
Now you can discover the stories of these beautiful fabrics, and the cultures and techniques that produced them.
Join us on the final day of Voice of the Fans for a private viewing of the exhibition. Members of the curatorial team will be on hand to answer any questions and give you an insight into the makings of the exhibition and what comes next.
Tea, coffee and a small selection of biscuits will be provided for attendees to enjoy in our Art Library on the 1st Floor.
The world can be a mundane and underwhelming place, Phee makes things stand out. The monotony of the working week and the things we see so often that we stop noticing them is undone in the hyper-realistic work of Phee Jeffries.
