In 2023 we have continued our research into how we can engage with different artists, collectives and projects, and ways to utilise the space effectively to illicit conversation around the arts, place and society.

Ideas Lab February-April
HARI opened the space to interaction with new ideas, and encouraged artists and publics to come in and share their ideas with us, and to develop events out of them with us - including residencies, sound art performances, and a surrealist drawing workshop.
Research In Practice March-April
3rd Yr Fine Art Degree students shared the research interests that inform their practice through dissertation and research posters.
We developed a programme of enrichment events to unpick these themes further.
