The corridors of Addenbrooke’s Hospital are to be brightened up by an exhibition of photographic and digital media based on the themes of fame, home, play, beauty and work.

All the images have been produced by first year students studying on the BA Hons Photography course, within the Cambridge School of Art, at Anglia Ruskin University (ARU). It will be the seventh annual photography exhibition and is the product of an on-going collaboration between Addenbrooke’s Hospital and Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge.

The exhibition will be displayed in the hospital’s ‘Clown Corridor’ which links the main concourse with the Rosie Maternity Hospital from 12 to 24 May. There will be a prize-giving ceremony on Thursday 11 May at 1430, during which the student who has produced the best piece of work will be announced and presented with a £100 voucher from Keyphoto Ltd to spend on photographic materials or equipment.

Ron Stellitano, the exhibition co-ordinator, said: “The exhibition promises to be the most innovative and exciting yet. The students have worked very hard to create some fascinating work and for many this will be their first public exhibition, which I hope patients, staff and the public will come and enjoy. On behalf of ARU I would like to thank Addenbrooke’s Hospital and in particular Claire Pope, Art Curator, for making this exhibition possible”.

The exhibition forms part of the ‘Addenbrooke’s Arts’ project, which aims to enhance the hospital environment for patients, visitors and staff by creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere.
