An exhibition of ‘dioramas’ made by Cambridge young people exploring ideas of home, public and private space
Museum of Cambridge: 20 October – 23 November 2014
Hidden amongst the collection of bygones at the Museums of Cambridge is the an exhibition of tunnel-book ‘dioramas’, carefully constructed from photographs, drawings and collage. These miniature worlds, made by students from schools around the city, represent personal thoughts about their homes, reflecting the different social and cultural backgrounds of the communities within the neighbourhoods of Cherry Hinton, East Barnwell, Arbury and Kings Hedges.
The project is produced by Artist Zoë Chamberlain and the artworks have been made and curated by a team of students from The North Cambridge Academy, and St Bedes, Chesterton, Netherhall and Coleridge schools. Explore their artworks in the Online Gallery.
