DJCAD students often propose to take over exhibition spaces in the DJCAD Matthew and Crawford buildings. The ‘Capture’ photography competition curated by our level two Contemporary Art Student, Katie Nelis, was due to ‘pop up’ in the Matthew Lower Foyer, earlier this year in April. Unfortunately due to the current lock down and closure of DJCAD, Katie and the other exhibitors were unable to show off their work to our staff, students and visiting public in they way they had hoped. By sharing some Capture exhibition submissions with our online community, we hope that the efforts of the students and staff involved will still be appreciated. Thank you Katie Nelis and Ellie Harrison for bringing this collection of student work together for the DJCAD community to enjoy at such a difficult time.
“Capture is an exhibition, organised by the Christian Arts Network, it celebrates the creativeness of DJCAD students through photography. We hope that the theme “light” will give people the opportunity to reflect and respond to its meaning. The exhibition hopes to shine a light over fear and celebrate art in spite of the current circumstances. We appreciate the limitations of working from home and thank everyone so much for submitting a photograph while on lockdown.”
