SUMMARY:Christmas Stories Retold: Northumbria University Graphic Design Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This Advent and Christmas\, we are delighted to present a collection of work by last year’s cohort of first-year Visual Communication and Digital Culture students from Northumbria University. \nDrawing inspiration from the story at the heart of Christmas\, the students have explored the themes and meanings of the story to create thoughtful\, contemporary visual responses. \nWhatever your own perspective – believing\, unbelieving\, or differently believing – we hope this exhibition enriches your reflections within this Cathedral space. \nThe annual Northumbria University Carol Service will take place at the Cathedral on Monday 15 December. \nNorthumbria University Carol Service 2025
