Encounters
2024
April - July
a THAT network London Live Exhibition and Online Exhibition
The ‘ENCOUNTERS’ exhibition is a celebration of the creativity and innovative practices in Tower Hamlets schools. It showcases artwork produced by students giving all the opportunity to exhibit work produced between the years 2023-2024.
In art, encounters are often unexpected, perhaps leading to the discovery and exploration of ideas through the use of diverse themes, styles, and techniques. Students have incorporated elements that evoke emotion or challenge perceptions, encouraging viewers to engage with the artwork on a personal level.
