Half a century has passed since the birth of Leeds Other Paper, an alternative local newspaper that uncovered many of the city’s less told stories. LOP lasted from 1974 to 1994, during which time it reported on social, political, economic and cultural life in Leeds from an alternative perspective. Run by a co-operative and existing on a shoestring, the paper gave a voice to many individuals and communities who felt ignored, patronised or even demonised by more mainstream media.
Join us in the newly refurbished Seminar Room at Henry Moore Institute to hear from Ryan Bishop as he takes a sideways look at Hany Armanious: Stone Soup.
Using our current exhibition as a springboard, he will consider some strands of Western philosophical and aesthetic traditions as they pertain to representation, mimesis, the metaphysics of presence, technology, and simulation.
The ‘Ribbons’ sculpture, selected for the Feminist Public Sculpture project, is due to be installed in Autumn.
This sculpture, in partnership with Leeds City Council, Leeds Arts University and Leeds City College, champions women’s achievements in Leeds and goes some way to correct a gender imbalance in public art in the city. Leeds Civic Trust has been one of its sponsors.

Mirroring the changing social and research contexts over the last 20 years, Professor Maria Maynard’s inaugural professorial lecture maps a journey from observing and understanding ethnic health inequalities to engaging in practical efforts to effect change.
As Studio Bokehgo approaches its 10 year celebration in 2025, I wanted to get the party started early with this teaser event launching a new strand to Bokehgo - ‘Community Bokehgo’.
Community Bokehgo is all about bringing brilliant creative minds together in the pursuit of making powerful and unique pieces of cinematic art. As a self taught filmmaker, community has been everything to me, and there are so many people and projects that have believed in me and led to the studio being as established as it is today.
For our second of two satellite events as part of Battle of Ideas 2024*, we’ve invited Freedom of the Arts co-founder Denise Fahmy to discuss how FITA’s 5-year project is going a year in and the possible impacts of the change of government.
