Student Showcase
Discover and celebrate the creative artistic works and achievements of students from within isolation
We are proud to exhibit arts in isolation projects produced by University of Hull students for various modules within the School of the Arts. These are extraordinary achievements for students who have worked within the limitations and restrictions of isolation throughout this difficult time to produce such inspiring works. This showcase will be regularly updated with more student projects and voices from different departments.
Student Short Films
In the Moving Image Techniques screen module, University of Hull film studies students have been producing short films in isolation with emphasis on interpretation and playfulness. This selection of four short films based on the briefs of either “fly” and “art (in isolation)” that have been underpinned by concepts of back to basics, guerilla, DIY and lo-fi filmmaking.

Hull’s Metamorphoses
University of Hull drama and theatre practice students developed Hull’s Metamorphoses, an online geo-located walking tour of Hull that features five dramatic monologues exploring different areas of Hull’s past, present and future within the city. Inspired by Ovid’s Metamorphoses, this project hopes to connect and aspire the people of Hull through utilising the arts to combat the loneliness and social isolation of the pandemic as well as emphasising the importance of the city’s ability to overcome the challenges it faces.
