City of Westminster College is proud to share the work from a recent international Art, Design & Media project.

Inspired by a visit to the college by photographer and artists Boris Stout on the concept and idea of ‘home’ – an emotion, a place, a memory, a person, animals, friendship or object – students from some UAL Level 1 Art, Design and Media, and UAL Level 3 Applied General Diploma in Art and Design created their own works in response to this idea.

The project is part of a unique partnership between City of Westminster college in London, UK, and Wycombe Abbey International School in Zhangzhou, China, meaning students’ work from both institutions are displayed at the school and college’s respective end of year shows, with some of the work by Wycombe Abbey students also displayed at Simon Ma’s Dragon Cavallo gallery in Pudong, Shanghai.

Having had their own works displayed in galleries in Changzhou, China, this international collaboration has been led by lecturers Steve Dowson (Wycombe Abbey International School) and Moni Aksdal (City of Westminster College), with the two hoping to partner with other galleries and spaces in the UK and beyond, on similar work in the future.

Moni Aksdal, Art & Design Lecturer at City of Westminster College said “We are very proud of our students and how they have opened a window into their lives in such an interesting way. It brings us more cultural awareness and provides great prospects for future collaborations. As we manage to share all submissions digitally with excellent quality, this concept really works.”
