Words & Pictures: Illustrated Narratives Exhibition

Posted: April 7, 2013

I recently gave a lecture and tutorials to students at the Arts University Bournemouth (AUB) and was impressed by the talents developing there. To discover them for yourself, check out their Words & Pictures: Illustrated Narratives Exhibition which launches today, Sunday 7th April from 3pm to 5pm, and continues from Monday 8th April to Sunday 14th April. It’s free and open 9am to 5pm daily at the Bournemouth International Centre, Exeter Rd, Bournemouth, Dorset, BH2 5BH.

Organised by The Egg Den, in association with AUB, the exhibit showcases a range of work submitted by AUB students of various courses. The narratives exhibited vary from short stories, sequential illustrations and poetry. Each written piece is also accompanied by equally varying artwork, each produced using a variety of media. In the words of the organisers, “The aim of our exhibit is to explore and promote the idea that storytelling through narratives can be enhanced with visual imagery. Storytelling is a concept inherent to the history of all cultures. Narratives as a form of communication have become more sophisticated over time. They can be used to express and convey through art, what would not be possible otherwise; giving us new perspectives.”
