OCA North: Tutor led visit to Delaine le Bas: Un-Fair-Ground

OCA Textiles tutor Faye Hall will be leading a visit to The Whitworth, Manchester to view ‘Un-Fair-Ground’ Delaine Le Bas’s first solo show in Manchester following her nomination for the Turner Prize in 2024.

This is an expansive overview of the artist’s ground breaking feminist practice from across the artists; career. The exhibition includes painting on calico, drawing, embroidery, video, and performance. Informed by Le Bas’s studies in fashion design, her deep engagement with folklore and witchcraft, and her Romany heritage, the exhibition unfolds as an immersive mixed-media environment of found and invented images that move beyond racial, political and sexual borders. 

Students from all disciplines are very welcome.

We will meet just outside the entrance to the Whitworth at 11.00am Tuesday 12 th May. The Whitworth has a café, although this can become busy.
