Join artist, composer and multi-instrumentalist Hannah Catherine Jones for a live performance to mark the closing weekend of her exhibition UNEARTHING(S) in Leeds Art Gallery’s Central Court.
For the event, Jones will revisit and push beyond motifs and themes from her newly commissioned sound work Owed to Unearthing(s). A key part of the exhibition, this soundscape draws from diverse genres including opera, dub, folk, spiritual jazz and from further afield, sonically weaving together diverse elements to reflect on grief and loss.
As a performer, Jones conjures otherworldly soundscapes to transport audiences, building layers from a live multi-instrumental set-up including theremin(s), vocals, synthesisers, strings and samples as well as utilising fx and multiple looping systems. Jones has previously performed at venues including the Barbican, Cafe Oto, ICA, London Jazz Festival and the National Gallery amongst others.
This is a free event but capacity is limited, please arrive early to avoid disappointment.

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.
