Exhibition Launch – Naeem Mohaiemen: THROUGH A MIRROR, DARKLY & Bonington Vitrines #30: A Semester in Nottingham, 1976

Join us for the launch of our final exhibitions of the season: THROUGH A MIRROR, DARKLY – a film commission from Turner-Prize nominated artist Naeem Mohaiemen and the 30th instalment of our Vitrines featuring a collection of photography from Baltimore-based photographer John Dean.

THROUGH A MIRROR, DARKLY is a new three-channel film by Turner Prize nominated artist Naeem Mohaiemen. It explores memorialisation, protest, and political violence through the lens of events in May 1970, when American students protesting domestic racism and overseas wars were met by state violence.

As part of the 30th instalment of our Bonington Vitrines series, we’re delighted to present A Semester in Nottingham, 1976, an exhibition of photographs by Baltimore-based John Dean. Captured during his time as a visiting student to NTU in 1976, these photographs offer a powerful glimpse into Nottingham life during a transformative era.

Enjoy a free welcome drink, delicious food (first come, first served!) and music.
