At the invitation of Associate Professor Rebecca Pride, Violet will co-curate this year’s Postgraduate Winter Show 2024, continuing the university’s tradition of showcasing excellence in creative practice for all students.
Exhibition overview
The Postgraduate Winter Show 2024 is a dynamic celebration of the achievements of AUB’s postgraduate students from the January 2024 intake. This curated exhibition features a diverse range of work produced by MA students, forming part of AUB’s prestigious Postgraduate Shows portfolio.
Postgraduate study at AUB is characterised by rigorous inquiry and the challenging of conventions, with students exploring the boundaries of their respective fields. The Postgraduate Winter Show offers a platform for this new, thought-provoking work, as these emerging creative practitioners present their ideas and research to the public, many for the first time. It marks a key moment in their professional journeys.
The exhibition will feature work from the following MA programmes:
