Join Yorkshire Contemporary with artist, composer and multi-instrumentalist Hannah Catherine Jones for a tour of her current exhibition UNEARTHING(S) at Leeds Art Gallery.

Transforming Central Court into a chapel-like space, UNEARTHING(S) brings together light, photography, sculpture and sound to reflect on themes on identity, bereavement and regeneration. Aimed at artists practicing in West Yorkshire, the tour will start in Central Court and include time for q&a with Hannah and the exhibition’s curators. 

This event is free but places are limited. Please use the booking link here to reserve your space.

Later in the afternoon, Hannah will be hosting a listening session delving further into the influences behind her new sound work Owed to Unearthing(s). For more information please see here.

UNEARTHING(S) is commissioned by Yorkshire Contemporary in partnership with Leeds Art Gallery. It is funded by Arts Council England, Art Fund, Henry Moore Foundation and a Research Support Award from Goldsmiths, University of London.

The exhibition also forms part of the Leeds 400 celebrations in 2026. Leeds 400 is a year-long celebration marking 400 years since Leeds was granted its charter in 1626. It’s an opportunity to reflect on the city’s rich history, celebrate its culture and communities, and look forward to its future.
