Drugscapes: Are We All Users?

Mon 2 June 2025 - Tue 10 June 2025

University Centre

This exhibition gathers the work of over 50 media students from Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City who collaborated with students at Homerton College, University of Cambridge in developing critical and creative takes on the topic of drugs. Join us for the opening reception from 7-9PM on May 30, 2025 at the SU Lounge on the third floor of the University Centre. Thereafter, the exhibit will run until June 10 and can be visited from 9AM-5PM Monday-Friday.

About ReD

ReD is a growing network of students, scholars and artists in Mexico and the UK exploring how and where drug education can be expanded beyond its traditional focus on individual health. The network seeks to spark more democratic, deliberative and interdisciplinary engagements with the topic of drugs in all of its complexity. As the political philosopher Wendy Brown argues, “citizens cannot rule themselves…without understanding the powers and problems they are engaging in.” ReD seeks to create spaces of learning that make it possible to understand “the powers and problems” we engage when we encounter drugs.
