Creative students exhibit at digital summer show

Bear Yourself by Riyana Sidek, BA (Hons) Interior Architecture & Design

The University of Portsmouth will showcase this year's summer Graduate Show as a virtual experience on its website from 5 August.

The Faculty of Creative and Cultural Industries presents over 150 graduating students' work in an online exhibition, which celebrates creative excellence from the Schools of Architecture; Art, Design and Performance; Creative Technologies; and Film, Media and Communication.  

Professor Trevor Keeble, Dean of the Faculty of Creative and Cultural Industries at the University of Portsmouth, said: “I am especially delighted that we are now able to see and share the work of this year’s graduating students. While we have missed our usual opportunities to enjoy the work together in physical exhibitions and showcases, our digital showcase provides a wonderful opportunity to see what our amazing graduates have achieved.

“We are all so incredibly proud of our students, many of whom have successfully completed their final major projects during lockdown, having explored alternative and creative ways for the final resolution and presentation of their work.

“As always, the expertise and support of the faculty’s teaching, technical and professional support staff has been outstanding, responding to the changing landscape of education and the creative industries during the lockdown.”

The online show will also highlight student profiles, such as Caleb Johnston, a BA (Hons) Film Production student, plus winners of industry awards and nominations, including Scarlett Gapp, winner of off_cut London Designer of the Year and ITS Lotto Sport finalist.

Ali Rasoul, BA (Hons) Film Production student, is also making a name for himself, working with film and music celebrities, and  Max Eagle talks about his experience finishing the BSc (Hons) Television and Broadcasting course, on popular industry media channel Kit Plus TV.

Lara Burley, BA (Hons) Animation student, explains what it is like to study a creative subject: “Taking this course has been an amazing experience. From learning with some incredibly creative people to interacting with lecturers that go the extra mile to help you reach your potential. A unique community is formed that I am thankful to have been a part of.” 

The following disciplines will be available to view on the website - Architecture, Interior Architecture & Design, Fashion & Textile Design, Photography, Illustration, Graphic Design, Computer Games, Digital Media, Animation, Creative Writing, Journalism, Television & Broadcasting and Film Production. 

Teasers of the students’ final major projects can be viewed on the University’s social media platforms:

‘Southsea dinosaur’ returns

Luna Park 2021, an eagerly anticipated new public artwork for Portsmouth designed by internationally renowned artists Ivan Morison and Heather Peak of Studio Morison will be launched on 2 October 2021 on a celebratory day in Southsea Common.  The 1.4 metres bronze sculpture is a tribute to the original 53-foot high 2010 artwork Luna Park, which tragically burned down on Southsea Common. The artists will unveil a new sculpture that responds to ten years of public demand to ‘bring back the Southsea Dinosaur’.  The new public artwork will be located within a direct sightline to the position of the original Luna Park sculpture. It will sit on top of a fossil Portland stone plinth with a QR code which when scanned with a smartphone will connect to an Augmented Reality experience. People will be transported to a digital rendering of the original artwork, seemingly standing life-size in front of them on Southsea Common. Viewers will also be able to use their mobile devices to visit a...

Delicious thinly sliced pork in Korean marinade

Sometimes you found a recipe and wrote it down on a piece of paper to try it out. Having done that, you forget where the recipe came from. Likewise this Korean recipe for pork, which turned out to be so delicious we have cooked it for everyone. The marinade is simple to make and yet really packed with flavours. For the Korean marinade you need  3 garlic cloves 1/2 brown onion 1/2 a pear or apple Blitz these ingredients together and then add 5 tablespoons soy sauce (I use Kikkoman) 3 tablespoons caster sugar 2 tablespoons sesame oil 3 tablespoons mirin black pepper For dinner for 2 people, 200g pork tenderloin is enough. Slice this thinly, and bash it to an even thinner piece with a meat mallet. Marinade in the sauce and leave it in the fridge for an hour. Then heat a frying pan on medium heat with a teaspoon of vegetable oil and fry the thin pork pieces until browned. You want some of the edges of the meat to be dark brown and caramelised, if you can. Don't cook too many pieces or ...

The irresistible attraction of Sherlock Holmes

The silhouette of Sherlock Holmes, with his deerstalker hat, pipe and magnifying glass, is instantly recognisable. The stories have been translated into many languages, and new stories are always being written. All over the world actors have made their name by playing the famous – and infinitely malleable – detective, and groups meet to discuss and dress as characters from the stories. But what is behind this extraordinary attraction to the character of Holmes?  Go along to the Spring Arts and Heritage Centre, to listen to Michael Gunton, Senior Archivist at Portsmouth City Library,  who will explore some of the reasons for our enduring fascination with Sherlock Holmes. Perhaps due to the hugely popular television series starting Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman, Holmes is often mistaken for a historical figure, rather than a fictional creation. An extensive collection of items relating to Conan Doyle is housed in the Library’s second floor history suite, and M...
