ARTSFEST 2022: new talent on show

Students graduating from the London School of Film, Media and Design took centre stage this week as their work went on display as part of this year’s ARTSFEST, with events and exhibitions at the West London campus.

ARTSFEST spotlights the work of students in photography, interior design, media and communications, broadcast and digital journalism, journalism, games design and animation, and visual effects. Also represented are advertising and public relations, graphic design, fashion and textiles, fashion promotion and imaging, fashion buying and management students, along with those from the fashion branding and marketing foundation course.

This exhibition is the culmination of our students’ time at UWL and they are very excited to share their creative vision.”

Says Head of Subject, Design and Communication, Dorota Watson.

We are delighted with the work on display which reflects the talent and imagination our graduates will demonstrate in their future careers.”

Work on display at St Mary’s Road included Home – an exhibition of intimate photographic work made at home during lockdown by students from the University of West London BA (Hons) Photography course, and its partner institution Deutsche-Pop, Berlin, Cologne and Vienna. The project has been supported by Creative People and Places Hounslow Visual Arts Programme.

Photography course leader Peter Bennett explained:

These images are a little snapshot of a point in history,

The story behind it is almost as important than the work.”

The Guardian University Guide 2021 ranked the UWL top in London for film production and photography. Visual effects course leader Angus Luscombe explained that the exhibition includes showreels from this year and last year’s graduates, to give exposure to the work of students who didn’t get to exhibit in 2021, due to Covid restrictions. 

Angus said:

Visual effects is about mixing computer generated imagery with real life footage,

Many of our graduates are already working in the Film & TV industry.”
