ESRC - Photo Competition for 14-18 year olds
Exhibition 26-31 March 2019

Social science research plays a vital role in our society. From big ideas to the most detailed observations, social science affects us all every day - at work, in school or college and within our communities. Social science makes our lives better - it helps society to become enriched, healthier, more resilient and sustainable.

The Better Lives competition, aimed at 14-18 year olds, is an opportunity to be creative using photography to explore the relevance of social science to society. We all want better lives and for 2018-19 the challenge is to take a photograph to show what this means to you. What brings quality to our lives? Is it better education, health and wellbeing, relationships, more money, or a safer, sustainable environment?

​Boundaries & Beyond
02-07 April 2019
Private View: Thursday 04 April 6-9pm

Some people love having rules, because they know what is expected, how they should behave, and what standards are in place.  Others hate rules because they feel trapped and confined by regulations. Some say that boundaries are crucial for all kinds of creativity while to others just the thought of it would send a shiver up their spine.

The artists have been invited to present artworks exploring an array of possibilities of being creative either within boundaries and/or beyond. The exhibition brings together an exciting range of artworks showcasing painting, printmaking, photography, installation, 3D and mixed media.

Either you're a rule maker, a rule taker, or a rule breaker, we would love you to come and share your thoughts and experiences with us.
