Rise Internships 2021 - 2022
with Manchester Metropolitan University.


︎︎︎ In 2021, we worked with twelve interns, during the development of Anthology of Joy, which were divided into Language Assistants and Project Assistants. They were asked to create a response from a series of topics which varied between juxtaposing the physical and the digital,  cultural displacement & activism, ethics incuratorial practices. And how language is important when viewing art work or lived experiences of cultural shifts and/ or living and working in a language other than their mother tongue? More information here!

︎︎︎ 2021 Student Interns Lim Tze Yan and Anastasia Morozova designed the CATALYST  which encapsulated the research and ideas from ten interns which varied from curatorial practice, new photographic work and investigation of language and interpretation. This was published in 2022, as document of creative collaboration between students, examining new ways of making research.

︎︎︎ In 2022, we worked with ten interns to work with us to develop and deliver a creative, public facing response to the Helen Cammock and Jasleen Kaur exhibitions at Touchstones Rochdale. And also in reflection to the Football Prize Exhibition.

︎︎︎All the students are from Manchester Metropolitan University, through the RISE Internship Programme.
