We are pleased to announce the new Exhibition Histories reading group organised by CDH PhD students Joseph Long, Hajra Williams, and Caroline Hamilton.

Exhibition Histories Reading Group

The Exhibition Histories Reading Group is open to all University of Brighton staff and postgraduate students, and scholars and practitioners from beyond the university. We meet every month to discuss exhibition history through new models of exhibition practice as well as the social, economic and political agency of exhibitions. We are keen to discuss ongoing or published research by staff and students at the University of Brighton.
