Events

Travel: Bus/Train/Tube
- Coventry Train Station is a short bus journey on the 12X from campus, with a return ticket costing £4
- Train tickets from Coventry to London Euston, if booked ASAP, should come to £22 at its cheapest (without a railcard)- this includes the trip there AND back
- NOTE that it is cheaper to get individual tickets rather than an Open Return
- From Euston, take the Victoria Line to Oxford Circus (ZONE 1, which is £2.40)- the gates for the Tube take contactless cards as well as tickets which you can purchase online or at the station
Both galleries we are visiting that day will be within a short walking distance from Oxford Circus station :)

GALLERY ONE: THE PHOTOGRAPHER’S GALLERY
“The Photographers' Gallery was founded in London’s Covent Garden in 1971 as the first public gallery in the UK dedicated to the medium and remains a leader in the presentation and exploration of photography in all its forms. It has been instrumental in promoting photography’s pivotal and influential role in culture and society and ensuring its position as a significant art form.”- (via website)

We will be going to view the exhibition Feast for the Eyes- The Story of Food in Photography, which explores the role of food photography in the work of artists such as Nobuyoshi Araki, Nan Goldin, Martin Parr, Man Ray, Cindy Sherman, Wolfgang Tillmans and Weegee.
