Exhibitions in the North
Maja Lorkowska, Exhibitions EditorWho doesn’t love May – the month with not one, but two bank holidays! Treats are in store on the exhibitions front even before the month starts. The long-awaited Małgorzata Mirga-Tas exhibition has finally landed at the Whitworth, capturing significant figures, traditions and everyday moments of Roma communities in vibrant tapestries.
Sustainability and environmental concerns are a recurring theme in a few of our top picks: the one-night-only Ecological Borders at SEESAW; Laura Ellen Bacon: Into Being at YSP; and Energy House 2.0 at Castlefield Gallery.
Abandon Normal Devices teamed up with the School of Digital Arts to bring us Commons, a brand new programme of inclusive and interactive events led by digital artists, while Leeds’ new CANVAS community arts festival is now open.
