Centre for contemporary Art

The Centre for Contemporary Art is based in the Department of Art & Fashion at the University of Central Lancashire and is the home base for a large group of research projects initiated by the Fine Art team led by Lubaina Himid, Professor of Contemporary Art. We aim to create an environment in which practice based dialogue and theoretical discussion around visual histories combines with strategies for creative intervention which can then impact upon the everyday. Through a series of collaborative events, cross disciplinary projects, print and paperwork displays, screenings, illustrated talks and work in progress exhibitions by invited artists we aim to generate and exchange knowledge while being accessible to the widest possible range of scholars.

Magda Stawarska-Beavan

Artist/printmaker The connection between thought, language and communication are central to my practice. I’m interested in how language affects our cultural identity and allows a sense of belonging. In my practice I work with sound and moving image building a new reality or narrative. I like to connect the traditional printmaking process with new technologies such as digital audio, so that elements of sound and moving image flow back and feed into the works on paper.
