Afternoon Programme

Meet our Artists in Residence

Last year, Queen’s launched a new creative residency programme. The programme brings artists working in any field of the creative arts – creative writing, film, fine art, music, or performance – to live and work with us in College over the course of a term. The aim is to support an artist’s work, to learn from their practice, and see our community through a new lens.

Our first artists in residence were Kayoon Anderson, a painter, and Di Mainstone, a multi-disciplinary artist and filmmaker. Kayoon and Di have both produced remarkable – and very different – works that engage with the College environment and its members. We are delighted that these will be exhibited for the first time at this event.

Join us to meet Kayoon and Di, to hear about their experience of creating art among the College community, and to discover more about the future of art at Queen’s.
