Exhibition at The Vallum Gallery, Brampton Road: 9th - 13th May 2022
The University of Cumbria Institute of Arts’ Arts Research Initiative (ARI) in partnership with Tullie House Museum for the national event GeoWeek* offers a free public symposium at our Brampton Road Campus in Carlisle. The event aims to explore themes of cultural engagement with the geologic, particularly through the interpretations of artists and cultural practitioners. The Cumbrian region has a rich history of such investigations from luminaries such as Wordsworth, Turner, West, Martineau, Southey, Atkinson, Graves, Nicholson, Harrison and Fell. This Symposium will present 18 papers over two days which respond to different aspects of GeoWeek, focusing on themes such as the Anthropocene, Deeptime, strata, underworlds, crystals and landforms, seen through the lens of contemporary art and cultural interventions. Keynote speakers include American artist Bryan McGovern Wilson and Glasgow based artist Ilana Halperin. Additionally, the Institute’s Arts Research Group of doctoral researchers (ARG) will also present artworks and films at The Vallum Gallery at the Brampton Road Campus throughout GeoWeek 9-13th May.
Dr Penny Bradshaw’s GeoWeek workshop at Brantwood on Geology and Identity in Cumbrian Literature, will take place on Monday May 9th 10:30-12:30
