Exhibitions
Made in Ancient Egypt
From elaborately decorated coffins to the Books of the Dead, ancient Egyptians produced objects which remain iconic today. But who were the makers behind them and how were they made?

Family Matters: Holding you up
Thu 16 October - Wed 17 December
Alison Richard Building
Family Matters: Holding You Up celebrates the powerful energies at play in the growth of parents, children, and their extended worlds.
18 artists’ photographs, paintings, performances, films, sculptures, toys and drawings offer us imaginative and playful ways to consider the impacts of family. Works address childhood experiences, parental strain and persistence, the impacts of social position and migration, how skills and challenges are transmitted across generations, and experiences of family for those who do not have children themselves.
This second iteration of Family Matters has evolved from a small show at Cambridge Artspace in March 2025. Now exploring family networks more broadly, artist partners, close friends and children are also participating. Their contributions shift the focus towards the social contexts we develop in, and our creative responses.
Join us for the exhibition opening reception and performances on 16 October from 18:30 – 20:30.
Participating Artists:
Jonny Aldous, Mujtaba Asif, Noor Ali Chagani, John Clark, Corrina Eastwood, Annabel Fraser, Tony Gammidge, Andrew James, Carly Juneau, Tanya Kaprielian, Clio Lloyd-Jacob, Caspian Prazmari, Kashi Prazmari, Patrick Prazmari, Vaishali Prazmari, Sandra Scott,Quratulain Shams, Judith Weik
