Tue 27 – Sat 31 Jan, 12pm – 6pm

“901 Years Later…” is an exhibition by four third-year Fine Art students from the Cambridge School of Art: Akshica, Arjun, Tom, and Zhaniya. Taking place in the Leper Chapel, one of the oldest standing buildings in Cambridge, built in 1125 CE as part of a medieval Leprosarium (or a community for Lepers). The exhibition brings contemporary practice into dialogue with a site marked by histories of care, exclusion, faith, and endurance.  

The exhibition considers culture not as a fixed or singular identity but as something lived and continually reshaped. Each artist come from a different background, and their works reflect distinct relationships to heritage, displacement, tradition, and hybridity. Rather than offering a definitive definition of culture, the exhibition foregrounds difference and tension, asking how culture is formed through experience, place, and memory. 

Installed within the Leper Chapel, some works respond directly to the building’s architectural and historical presence, while others engage broader questions of culture and identity that sit alongside the site rather than being shaped by it. 

Through painting, installation, and mixed media, the four artists offer outward-looking explorations of culture as something lived and unfinished. Together, the exhibition forms a constellation of perspective, inviting viewers to consider how cultural narratives persist, fracture, and transform over time.
