Last but certainly not least, the final of our additional events for Exhibition Week is a panel discussion with some of Cambridge’s finest curators; Andrew Nairne (Kettle’s Yard), Helen Ritchie (Fitzwilliam Museum) and Annabelle Campbell (David Parr house).

Hosted by the wonderful Catalina Salter-Martin (QAF president) and Eva Weinstein (QAF vice president), the panel will discuss curation, the differences between ‘house museums’ and institutional museums, their respective careers, and their thoughts on ‘Lost Property’.

We are so grateful to have the opportunity to host this discussion - so please do come along to the Angevin Room at Queens’, at 15:30 on 14/03/25 for a chance to hear from some of the finest local curators.

Once again, we ask that you would kindly RSVP via link in bio due to availability…and keep your eyes peeled - further information about the main event - the exhibition launch night - will be coming soon!

Creatives of Cambridge! As Exhibition week draws near, we are delighted to share some more information with you about the events we have in store.

Kicking the week off with a collaboration with , undergraduate art-historians Bella Roskill (QAF) and Rosy Akalwau-Ellman (Fitzwilliam Museum Society) will be interviewing 2023 Turner Prize winning artist Jesse Darling. Darling’s work, in the words of the Tate, “reflects the vulnerability of the human body, and expresses the desire to resist the constraints imposed on our lives by social and political forces”.

The event promises a relaxed discussion of Darling’s work and career, interpolating themes of Lost Property, sainthood, sculpture, and Britishness for your brains to feast on.

So tell your friends - and join us at 19:30 in the Erasmus Room, in Queens’, on 10/03/25. We ask that you please note that availability is limited due to seating capacity - so please RSVP following the link in our bio if you wish to attend.

QAF EXHIBITION 2025 ANNOUNCEMENT: LOST PROPERTY

For Queens’ Arts Festival 2025, we implore you to rummage through your pockets, down the backs of the sofas of your mind - to glean that which is forgotten or misplaced. Lost Property invites artists to confront absence and rediscovery, the personal and the borrowed, the ubiquitous object and the fleeting thought. What does it mean to lose something? To have and to hold? Does loss offer an incentive to recre-ate?

This is a unique opportunity to showcase your work in a student-curated exhibition in Queens’ College gallery space, so be as playful, profound, or peculiar as you like. Lost Property welcomes submissions in all mediums; painting, photography, moving image, sound, text, and those that defy classification altogether.

SUBMISSIONS LINK IN BIO. OR EMAIL. DEADLINE 31/1/25

We are delighted to be back,

See you soon,
