The event begins with a one-night Human Library at the Tower Tavern, inviting visitors to “borrow” conversations with people from different walks of life and hear lived stories of belonging and community.

This opening night launches a week-long exhibition of student work designed for the Tower Tavern, once a thriving pub, now on its way to become an interdisciplinary hub and cultural venue.

Through designed furniture, installations, multimedia art, and collected narratives, the exhibition reimagines the pub beyond hospitality.

Attend the opening or visit during the week.
