New Geographies

Commencing in 2017, New Geographies is a 3-year project with 10 artists’ commissions across East Anglia. People nominated over 250 locations based on personal stories and reflections, some of which have inspired the new artworks. The aim is to create a new map of the East of England, by enabling people to share their stories and re-imagine our idea of ‘place’.

UH Arts has worked with two of the commissioned artists Stuart Whipps and Krijn de Koning. Find out more about their projects below, as well as the outreach artists' projects by Sarah Evans and Jane Glynn.

New Geographies is led by ECVAN and funded by Arts Council England. The New Geographies partner institutions are Art Exchange, University of Essex Colchester; East Gallery^NUA, Norwich University of the Arts; Firstsite, Colchester; Focal Point Gallery, Southend; Kettle’s Yard, University of Cambridge; Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery; original projects; Great Yarmouth; UH Arts, University of Hertfordshire; and Wysing Arts Centre, Cambridgeshire.
