2019/2020 Fellowships Announced

News Fellowships

The University of Exeter’s Arts and Culture strategy, aims to ‘place creativity at the heart of all we think, imagine and do together’. The Arts and Culture Fellowships are an important mechanism for putting our ambitions into practice, offering creative practitioners the opportunity to engage with innovative research across the University’s colleges and campuses. 

For 2019/2020 we have brought together three creative practitioners with three different academics and their research projects. Taking place across our campuses, both host and creative fellow will work collaboratively over the next few months. They are:  


Embodied Viewing
Peepshows, Panoramas, Magic lanterns and Victorian Optical Devices 

Lea Anderson John Plunkett Fellowship

Based on our Streatham Campus, choreographer, artistic director and filmmaker Lea Anderson is working with Professor John Plunkett and the team at the Bill Douglas Cinema, to explore the museum's exquisite collection of 80,000 artefacts and items. With a particular focus on peepshow and Victorian lens-based devices, it is hoped the fellowship will offer up new ways of understanding this material and enrich the educational work that takes place at the museum.

Human Movement 
Translating Data into Art 

Vsimulators
Based at our St Luke's campus, musician and scientist Domenico Vicinanza is working with Dr Genevieve Williams and Julie Lewis-Thompson Commercial Manager of VSimulators to explore data from a new state of the art research facility and create an engaging creative representation of its science.

Water

Based at our Truro campus, artist, curator and producer Alex Julyan is working with Dr Kath Maguire and researchers from the European Centre for Environment and Human Health, My Blue Health and members from the Health and Environment Public Engagement group (HEPE) to creatively explore their research into how water-based environments (coasts, canals, lakes, ponds, rivers etc.) can affect health and wellbeing.
