OVERLAY is an exhibition that fosters in its core dialogues between single and collective standpoints. Acknowledging the value of personal encounters, it highlights the combination of distinct approaches to sculpture presented by a diverse set of individuals proposing collaborations and intersection points between their artistic practices.
Comprised of diverse personal backgrounds, the group brings together the creative initiatives of the MA Fine Art: Sculpture students Bea Underwood, Hanzi Li, Jia Hao, Milena Orlandi, Ramón Ravé, Nata Hamilton, Savannah Snead, Yiheng Chen, Zihan Tang in a celebratory showcase of their bond established during this period at Camberwell College of Arts.

Emerging from Arts SU’s research into the often-intimidating experiences of critique culture at UAL, Crits Hub seeks to reclaim this process as a supportive space for artistic development by reimagining feedback sharing practices.
Traditional critiques can often feel like a “firing squad,” which disproportionately impacts student well-being and reinforces power imbalances. Crits Hub challenges this perspective, viewing critiques instead as a collaborative testing ground for new ideas. By proposing an alternative, horizontal approach to feedback, critiques can become safer and more accessible spaces for experimentation and authentic dialogue.
Students are invited to book this space and make use of the resource library, learning materials and ‘Crit Kit’ zine: a student-made pocket-sized guide proposing frameworks and methodologies towards diversifying the crit and accommodating a variety of learning styles. These tools can be used to design critique sessions that are bespoke to the unique needs of each peer-learning group.
It is hoped that by offering a dynamic and responsive peer-learning space, Crit Hub will encourage an institutional shift in how critique is practised at UAL. It envisions a compassionate crit culture rooted in equity, where lived experience is valued and individual voices are celebrated.
