Annual Language-Art Project
The Language-Art Project aims to gather diverse groups of students from across UAL to create a variety language-themed art.
You can interpret the brief in any way you wish and with any medium. You can work collaboratively or solo. All you need is curiosity and enthusiasm.
Join the Language-Art Project to:
- Meet students from other courses and nationalities.
- Take part in a cross-cultural artistic collaboration.
- Contribute to an exhibition in the summer term.
Who is it for?
All UAL students are welcome. Students come together from a range of courses, disciplines, nationalities and language backgrounds.
