Presenting the work of our round three PANIC! bursary recipients

Back to PANIC!

PANIC! Promoting an Artists’ Network in the Crisis is delighted to present here the artwork of its third round of bursary recipients.

The artists, all based in Leeds City Region, were awarded bursaries of either £1,000 or £5,000 to support the making of a new contemporary visual artwork or project.

The resulting artworks help us think through the psychological, social and cultural conditions we face today.

Discover the work of artists Edd Carr, Charlotte Cullen, Tyvin Haque, Nikta Mohammadi, Lottie Sadd, Mathew Wayne Parkin, and ROMA below.
