About this Event
An Artist Can Be Anyone
Who gets to call themselves an artist? Art school is one route into creativity, but for many it was never an option, whether because of cost, background, expectation or simply choosing a different path. UN/ DEFINED brings together emerging creators from across London's universities, studying everything from law to engineering, who found their own way into making art. Through wall-hung work including photography, painting, illustration, and mixed media, each artist responds to the world as they see it: identity and culture, power and politics, society and expectations, place and belonging, the digital world and the human experience. Shaped by different lives, cultures, languages and beliefs, the works show that even when we look at the same thing, we rarely see it the same way. Some pieces tell personal stories and others take on wider social questions, but all of them come from artists whose work is rarely given a platform in the traditional art world.
