果冻影院 Culture postcards

This term听approximately 9000 new students听will arrive at听果冻影院, and we're really excited for the journey they're about to begin.

As they pack their bags and prepare for arriving here in the big smoke, we听wanted to give them a glimpse of what we're all about here at 果冻影院 Culture with a lovely set of postcards. Each booklet contains vital information on our three museums -听The Grant Museum of Zoology, The Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology, and the 果冻影院 Art Museum - plus the 果冻影院 Culture Collections and the Bloomsbury Theatre. In this handy little format, new students will be able to find out where and when to access our unique collections and performances, and how maximise their experience of 果冻影院 through our engaging and diverse events. If we didn't already get to enjoy this exciting programme ourselves, we'd be thoroughly jealous!听

To all our new听students -听we look forward to meeting you in the weeks to come.

Student Wellbeing Collage Club launches in the 果冻影院 Art Museum
24th Nov 2023
As the excitement of the new term fades, workloads increase, temperatures drop and the nights draw in, it can be difficult to fight off the mid-term blues. A new series of workshops run by Collage Club Ldn in the 果冻影院 Art Museum seeks to help students take a break from their studies and activate their creativity. Artist Steph Hartman, founder of Collage Club, leads the sessions, which are themed around wellbeing. The Collage Club mantra is to 鈥榗elebrate the art of cutting and sticking鈥�, moving away from notions and pressures of producing perfectly proportioned drawings. Hartman embraces hands-on techniques, where scissors become the drawing tool, encouraging participants to create imaginative collages through ripping, snipping, gluing and sticking.The workshop series began on Wednesday 25 October, taking 鈥楥ollage and Chance鈥� as its theme. Steering students to embrace chance and use their intuition to guide their creation, the first session took Jean Arp鈥檚 鈥榗hance collages鈥� as inspiration. Arp鈥檚 technique integrated chance within artistic production, comparing an artist鈥檚 role to a plant bearing fruit. Students were invited to follow Arp鈥檚 process of making chance compositions by taking shapes and letting them fall onto a page with little intervention. Students were also introduced to automatic drawing, which was used to generate these random shapes. [[{"fid":"16776","view_mode":"medium","fields":{"height":"600","width":"408","class":"media-element file-small","format":"medium","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":"Black and white photograph of an artwork depicting 15 irregular squares in a composition of 5 rows on a plain background.","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"Jean Arp Chance Collage","field_caption_heading[und][0][title]":"","field_caption_heading[und][0][url]":"","field_caption[und][0][value]":"%3Cp%3EJean%20Arp%2C%20%E2%80%98Squares%20or%20Rectangles%20Arranged%20According%20to%20the%20Laws%20of%20Chance%E2%80%99%2C%201916-17%2C%C2%A0New%20York%3A%20The%20Museum%20of%20Modern%20Art.%3C%2Fp%3E","field_caption[und][0][format]":"","field_float_left_right[und]":"none","field_file_image_decorative[und]":"0"},"type":"media","field_deltas":{"1":{"height":"600","width":"408","class":"media-element file-small","format":"medium","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":"Black and white photograph of an artwork depicting 15 irregular squares in a composition of 5 rows on a plain background.","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"Jean Arp Chance Collage","field_caption_heading[und][0][title]":"","field_caption_heading[und][0][url]":"","field_caption[und][0][value]":"%3Cp%3EJean%20Arp%2C%20%E2%80%98Squares%20or%20Rectangles%20Arranged%20According%20to%20the%20Laws%20of%20Chance%E2%80%99%2C%201916-17%2C%C2%A0New%20York%3A%20The%20Museum%20of%20Modern%20Art.%3C%2Fp%3E","field_caption[und][0][format]":"","field_float_left_right[und]":"none","field_file_image_decorative[und]":"0"}},"attributes":{"height":"600","width":"408","class":"media-element file-medium"}}]]Designed to inspire students鈥� creativity and to provide respite from academic work, Collage Club Ldn will be hosting these weekly workshops until the end of Term 1, with themes including Pattern Making, Paper Weaving and Collaging with Nature. Students have been very enthusiastic about the sessions, embracing the opportunity to engage creatively with a new activity: 鈥淧reparation for work to do with my dissertation this week has been really hard, so it鈥檚 been great to come and shut off.鈥� 鈥淚鈥檝e been needing to find something to clear my head from uni work and I used to collage when I was younger, this has been a real help.鈥� 鈥淪tudent Wellbeing was in the title鈥� so I said YES, this is what I need right now!鈥漈he last workshop in the series will be 鈥楢 Festive Finale!鈥�, a session centred on making and gifting where participants can craft a collage for themselves or to give to someone else. The workshop will run on Wednesday 6 December as part of the Students鈥� Union 果冻影院 Winter Arts Festival, a week of events coordinated by arts果冻影院 supporting creative freedom and expression for 果冻影院 students. LinksBooking for students via the Eventbrite pageStudent Wellbeing Collage Club event page Students鈥� Union 果冻影院 Winter Arts Festival 果冻影院 Art Museum homepage  Collage Club Ldn Instagram Page

Energy mapping and photography skills were shared with off-grid solar home users in Rwanda to assess the technology and its impact in the communities. In Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, mapping skills were used to gather data on urban water access. The data collected increased the negotiating power of local residents when appealing to their governments for service improvements. These skills mobilised individuals who might previously have felt powerless, and effected real change in the community.[[{"fid":"5495","view_mode":"large","fields":{"format":"large","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":"Mapping workshops Iwona Bisaga","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"","field_caption_heading[und][0][title]":"","field_caption_heading[und][0][url]":"","field_caption[und][0][value]":"","field_caption[und][0][format]":"limited_html","field_float_left_right[und]":"none","field_file_image_decorative[und]":"0"},"type":"media","field_deltas":{"1":{"format":"large","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":"Mapping workshops Iwona Bisaga","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"","field_caption_heading[und][0][title]":"","field_caption_heading[und][0][url]":"","field_caption[und][0][value]":"","field_caption[und][0][format]":"limited_html","field_float_left_right[und]":"none","field_file_image_decorative[und]":"0"}},"link_text":null,"attributes":{"height":"1880","width":"2816","class":"media-element file-large"}}]]We鈥檙e really excited to see how this year鈥檚 projects develop with the support of the Beacon Bursaries, and will invite project leaders to update on their progress throughout the year.Beacon Bursaries are available to 果冻影院 staff and postgraduate research students looking to connect their research or teaching with people outside 果冻影院 in a new way.
