Join us to explore ideas of ‘blindness gain’, new approaches to exhibition making, and ways audiences can experience artworks beyond the visual.
Throughout the day speakers will address how artists have used, and continue to use, senses beyond the ocular, both historically and in contemporary practice.
Tickets are free and include lunch, refreshments and a wine reception at the end of the day.
A completely made-up true story!
“The most generous of hosts… a mesmerising personality… a gifted storyteller… a natural comic” - The Guardian
When the world goes mad, do we inevitably go mad too?
But: Life Isn't Like That, Is It? is a new collection of stories by Boff Whalley, musician, author, and one of the founding members of the anarcho-punk band Chumbawamba and Commoners Choir.
These are stories about real lives, real people, and real life. Stuttering, wayward, disjointed, funny, ridiculous, and unplanned.
NHS anaesthetist, comedian and author Ed Patrick injects Leeds with a gut-punch hilarious show about becoming a junior doctor, the NHS, the pitfalls of modern medicine and the power of questioning it.
There’s plenty of laughing gas to go round!
Ed also hosts the ‘Comedians Surgery’ podcast where he speaks to guests including Joe Lycett, Rose Matafeo and Reginald D Hunter about their health stories and experiences.
‘Brilliantly funny’ Matt Lucas
‘Extremely funny’ The Telegraph

Comedian Huge Davies will be performing a series of songs, but not songs he’s written – these are songs passed down from his family members and ancestors (dead). From his Grandpa Joe finally winning a ticket to the chocolate factory to his brother Elliot finding a stray alien in the garden shed, there’s something for everyone.
Join us at Wellington Place for some free half-term fun!
On Saturday 22 February, from 10am – 11:30am, we’re hosting a poetry writing workshop for ages 8 – 13, with local author and poet, Spencer Woods.
