Whitworth Studies
The Department of Art History at The University of Manchester has collaborated with The Whitworth Art Gallery on its 'Whitworth Studies' initiative.
Aims
Whitworth Studies aims to encourage and support a wide range of research projects between the Whitworth and Art History, artists, other parts of The University of Manchester, and visiting researchers from other universities. This research activity leads to exhibitions, conferences, lecture series, events, performances, and research on the Whitworth’s collections.
Events
Internationally recognised researchers from The University of Manchester and beyond give public lectures and presentations of many kinds, as well as artists talking about their work. Whitworth Studies also encourages experimental encounters with research and experimental forms of presenting research as a signature aspect of its public programme.
Audience
The Whitworth Studies programme is designed to appeal to the highly engaged Whitworth public; UG, MA and PhD students with interests in visual culture; researchers at all levels who want to stage or present research on visual culture; and the wider art community of Manchester and the North West.
