Learn From a Bird

A unique month-long exhibition showcasing the power of cross-disciplinary creative collaborations.

Taking place between 2nd – 27th July, ‘learn from a bird’ is a rare opportunity to discover more about the unique creative collaborations taking place between artists, researchers, students, and staff, from the University of Exeter and Falmouth University at the Penryn Campus. Featuring an engaging mix of photography, video, audio, textiles, sculpture, and visual art, each week Grays Wharf Gallery in Penryn will showcase a new collaboration.

The first two weeks of the exhibition are dedicated to the FX Creative Exchange, an exciting transdisciplinary programme supporting collaborations between early-career/emerging researchers across the University of Exeter and Falmouth University.

The final two weeks will showcase a captivating collaboration between artist Iman Datoo which challenges misconceptions about soil health in Cornwall’s mining tips and pits, and work from a series of exciting student led projects.

Throughout the month, there will also be an opportunity to discover more about ‘Tender Acts’, a year-long project, commissioned by Arts and Culture, University of Exeter, designed to invite curious acts and to connect people who study or work on Penryn Campus. The title of the month show is taken from one of their artworks.
