On Friday 4 March, as part of an ongoing collaborative project, a group of students from the School of Music & Fine Art spent the night in Rochester Guildhall museum. The stay forms part of 2nd year BA Fine Art modules Place and Site and Practice and its Publics. Students are working in response to the museum and the collection. The project has included working closely with curators and museum staff who have given students virtually unlimited access to objects in storage areas, as well as public displays. The project culminates in an exhibition of student responses and proposals in the museum entitled Show don’t Tell.

As part of the modules students will present their proposals to a panel of museum staff and professionals from the local creative and cultural community.  University of Kent School of Journalism students will be also be writing an article, interviewing students and making a film about this exciting venture.

The exhibition will open on Friday 1 April, with a Private View from 17.30 – 20.00, and the exhibition will be open until Thursday 7 April.
