Global Artists
The second Object Journeys partnership project is being run with Leicester Museums and Galleries. During late 2016 and 2017 Leicester Museum will work in close collaboration with community artists from across the city to explore and question notions of art hierarchies and beauty in paintings and painted objects from around the world.
They will work with a core group of artists and art students that have an understanding of art in different parts of the world. A co-created display of both British Museum and Leicester Museums paintings will be installed in Leicester Museums World Arts Gallery in New Walk Museum and Art Gallery.
