The University of Bradford Union of Students hosted a vibrant showcase of local artists’ works, drawing the attention of distinguished guests and community leaders. Among the attendees were the Lord Mayor of Bradford, Councillor Gerry Barker, and Councillor Abigail Marshall Katung, the incoming Mayor of Leeds, who delivered inspiring speeches. This event was hosted on the 29 of February, 2024.
Councillor Katung, noted as the first elected African at Leeds City Council, reminisced about her days as an international student in West Yorkshire, sharing heartfelt stories from her journey.
Rotimi Olorunfemi, the artistic director of the event, emphasized the importance of bridging the gap between the university and the local community. “I aim to open the university’s doors to local artists, breaking down any barriers that may exist,” Olorunfemi explained. He highlighted how art can be a powerful medium for individuals to express their struggles and triumphs. One piece depicted overcoming personal challenges, while another conveyed the message that “joy comes in the morning,” symbolizing hope and resilience.
The event was further enriched by Councillor Katung’s reflections on her journey as an international student, adding a unique and touching perspective to the exhibition. Olorunfemi remarked on the significance of providing a platform for these artists, many of whom create their works in solitude. “They were heard, seen, and valued,” he said. “We gave out prizes and showed appreciation for their art, which meant a lot to them.”
The exhibition featured a diverse array of artists, including Peter J. Hodgson, Camelia Calarasiu, Nithiya Sivaraman, Zaynab Sabri, Oyedotun Oyesomi, Olamide Jasanya, and Josa Osa-Oni. The prize winners were selected by judges Michael AllHouse, Arthur Williams, Shabina Aslam, and Jack Massie.
For those interested in acquiring these beautiful pieces, Olorunfemi mentioned that the artworks are available for purchase. The event was organized in collaboration with Oyedotun Oyesomi, Grant Uzoanya, Manvita Manjunath, and Alastair Bill Veigas.
Reflecting on the power of storytelling through art, Olorunfemi stated, “People don’t know you if they don’t know your story. It’s easy to judge without understanding someone’s background. Through art, we can connect and understand each other better. You can become anything you want to become.”
