Interpretations

Podcasts from the UEA student community

How we experience and understand art is shaped by our own lives, experiences and perspectives. In this podcast series, second-year UEA Writing students respond to an artwork or aspect of the Sainsbury Centre Collection, exploring the personal connections, questions and ideas it raises for them.
•
Developed as part of their non-fiction writing module, led by their tutor Dr Claire Hynes and in collaboration with the Sainsbury Centre Learning team, these podcasts offer creative and compelling responses to the Collection, bringing together different ways of seeing, thinking and making sense of art.
