Larry Achiampong and Eva Stenram are taking part in Division/Revision, a sixteen-strong poster project curated by Uta Kögelsberger for Your Space Or Mine, which brings together sixteen internationally acclaimed artists to address the questions ‘What brings us together?’ and ‘What pushes us apart?’ The project takes place between 15 March to 31 March 2021. See the Build Hollywood website for further details.

Sarah Munro (Director, Baltic), Jo Townshend (Principal Partnerships Manager (Creative Sectors), UCL Innovation & Enterprise) Kieren Reed (Director, Slade School of Fine Art, UCL) and Audrey Tan (UCL Public Policy) reflect on the value of arts and culture and explore how we can leverage the opportunities within the creative industries to advance thinking on creative careers, place-based interventions and employment. 

See the UCL Public Policy blog for the full article.

Alvaro Barrington is one of the artists contributing to this year's Hepworth Gallery School Prints campaign, which places artwork in schools to potentially transform how children think about art and who can be an artist. See the article in The Guardian for further information.

Encountering Pain Hearing, seeing, speaking
Encountering Pain Hearing, seeing, speaking, 2021, book

Published by UCL Press: https://www.uclpress.co.uk/products/108203

A unique compilation of perspectives on persistent pain, Encountering Pain: hearing, seeing, speaking edited by Deborah Padfield and Joanna M Zakrzewska, is published on 15 February, 2021 by UCL Press. The book grew out of a long history of PhD work, post doc work and subsequent multidisciplinary research and collaboration across and beyond UCL.

'A majestic volume. Visually striking, intellectually challenging, and experientially transformative, this book promises to change how everyone encounters pain.’

Dr Rob Boddice (Freie Universität Berlin)

'The communication of something that resists being expressed straightforwardly in verbal form metamorphoses, as you read this extraordinarily rich and innovative volume, into a metaphor for life itself, for who we are, how we become social beings by developing empathy and respect for the pain of others, for how we develop and then question through these interactions our sense of identity.’

Prof. Stella Bruzzi ( Dean, Faculty of Arts and Humanities, UCL)

The book is available via UCL Press: https://www.uclpress.co.uk/products/108203, includes open access pdf download.
