Director (October 2020) -
Senah Tuma
Co-Director (March 2020 - October 2020)
Through our involvement in the gallery since first year and both being History of Art students, we formed a close friendship and after both being on the Norman Rea Gallery committee for the past year work, we realised we work very well together. We decided due to the collaborative nature of a student run gallery, to be Co-Directors, combining the roles of both the Director and Vice Director.
Together we have curated Up North, an exhibition which highlighted young Northern identity, CHANGE, which served as an illustration of racial injustices globally, and led a successful fundraising campaign to provide financial stability for the future of the gallery.
We are passionate about giving members a voice, allowing you to make key decisions in the exhibition programme and events we put on. We believe that Norman Rea Gallery’s position as the only completely student run gallery on a university campus in the UK is really special, and enables us all to be creative and experiment! We want to encourage the gallery as an approachable platform for people to be creative.
We’ve had some incredibly special opportunities through the gallery and are very much looking forward to the year ahead. We encourage anyone to contact us and get involved too!
