Sardines — BA Fine Art Degree Show 2024

Sardines showcases the works of 43 artists from the University of Leeds who have navigated their academic journey in busy shared studios and collaborative conditions.

Through a diverse array of mediums and expressions, the exhibition reveals the paths these artists are taking from their mutual experiences as students to the world beyond university.

The artists behind Sardines have formed a tight, vibrant community of individuals through creating art together. They have collectively curated an exhibition that playfully celebrates the ways of making and the range of experiences that come from working side by side within shared spaces.

Artworks are united under one roof through the student-led curation of this group show, whilst exploring diverse themes such as satire, protest, femininity, surveillance, extended realities, play and identity.

Sardines offers a chance for you to see what this generation of artists care about and where they are headed. From provocative paintings to immersive installations, no two artworks are alike yet all represent small fish ready to dive into the big pond.

Join us to witness the future of art as these emerging artists prepare to make a big splash.
