Unfolding Narratives: Exhibition

Unfolding Narratives is free and open to all.

London College of Communication is delighted to invite you to the sixth edition of Unfolding Narratives, the annual Postgraduate Research exhibition and live programme documenting the ongoing, evolving, and unfolding research journeys of LCC PGR students.

• Launch event and Unfolding Live: Wednesday 11 March, 2-6pm (tickets)
• Exhibition open dates: Wednesday 11 – Friday 20 March
• Exhibition open times: Monday – Friday | 10am – 5pm
• Unfolding Narratives Symposium: Tuesday 17 March (tickets)

Encompassing an exhibition, public programme, and symposium, Unfolding Narratives is where research is actively shaped, tested, and reimagined in real time. Through installations, interventions, live experiments, and critical discussion, Unfolding Narratives is an invitation into process, an ever-evolving dialogue between research, practice, and audience.

On view 11 – 25 March, the Unfolding Narratives exhibition presents works by twenty-one researchers, exploring themes such as cultural remembrance, climate policy, embodied knowledge, and afterlife, whether through contemporary Chinese photography or relating to LCC’s very buildings. Through a wide range of media, including motion-sensor environments, post-human board games, and comic book installations, exhibitors experiment in the space.

On 11 March, the project opens with Unfolding Live, a public programme of live activations by exhibiting researchers, followed by an exhibition tour led by Unfolding Narratives curator Jesse Slater. Afterwards, you’re warmly invited to a drinks reception.

Unfolding Live: Thursday 12 March

3pm: AndreeaElleVas: ‘Mapping the Past’
Guided visit + Q&A (45 mins)
Location: Well Gallery

Andreea Elle Vas invites you to step into the "square mile" of her childhood under dictatorship in 1980s Bucharest: places that retain layers of memory, stories evoked through walking practice and embodied remembrance. In this guided visit, Vas talks through her exhibit, including the map of her childhood neighbourhood, Grivita, cast on the floor, and images of key locations alongside it. Join Vas in this act of retrospective resistance and dissent on behalf of millions of children who suffered from state abuse in Romania. Recording will take place in the performance.
