Research students exhibition catalogue 2011
The catalogue demonstrates the scope and vibrancy
of current inquiries and pays tribute to the creative
capacity and investment of UCA research students.
It brings together contributions from students who

Their explorations are connected by the centrality of
contemporary material practices as focal point
for the reconsideration of societal values, cultural
symbols and rituals and their meaning, and the
trans/formation of individual, collective and national
identities The media and formats employed range
from cloth, jewellery and ceramics to analogue film,

transcend the boundaries of individual practice and
offer new insights, under-standing and applications
for the benefit of wider society. Prof. Kerstin Me
