ARTS IN THE ARCHIVES:

PUBLICATIONS, POETRY AND PERFORMANCE

Arts in the Archives explores the history of English literature, writing and performance at QMUL, highlighting collections held in the archives by focusing on the themes of publication, poetry and performance.

This exhibition gives an insight into the work of students and academics from the late 19^th Century onwards. Drawing on archival material from Queen Mary College, Westfield College, and the personal papers of former lecturers, this exhibition not only looks at formal teaching of the arts and humanities, but also gives an insight into the recreational involvement of student and staff groups and societies in productions which continues to this day.
