PROFESSOR PAUL GOUGH PRINCIPAL AND VICE-CHANCELLOR

Few universities in the world combine the range of specialist courses, knowledge and skills that Arts University Bournemouth has in its rich portfolio. Our courses of study and our research promote a depth of knowledge and practical expertise, which is strongly aligned and keenly demanded across the arts, design, media and performance sectors in this country and overseas. The quality of our graduates and their impact on the professional worlds in which they prosper speaks compellingly of our distinctive strength and character.

AUB is a genuine community of learners rooted in our region, but with a global footprint enriched by extensive networks of alumni in countries all over the world. Our community is nourished by a powerful sense of belonging – to our practice, to our sense of place, and to each other.

Over the past few years, I know that our students have faced unprecedented conditions at university, at home and in their social lives. Yet, we can see how, as individuals and as cohorts of learners, they have shown great fortitude, extraordinary levels of ingenuity and sustained resilience. For these individual and collective achievements, on behalf of all the staff at the University, the Board of Governors, our Chancellor, and all those who belong to the AUB family, we salute you.

He became Rector of the RCA in 1996 until his retirement in 2009.

Sir Christopher remains a prolific writer and broadcaster; his subjects range from the work of Sergio Leone and spaghetti westerns to advertising in his television series The Art of Persuasion to the importance of craftsmanship and design.

AWARDS LISTING

SUSTAINABILITY AWARDS 2023

The AUB Sustainability Awards are in recognition of final year undergraduate student work that takes a particularly interesting or innovative approach to sustainability.

Submissions are judged on the ability of the work to encourage, inspire, innovate, educate or change approaches to sustainability.

Jon Renyard, Chair of the Environment Committee and convenor of the judging panel, said: “It is my privilege to be on the judging panel for these awards. It is always inspiring to see the ways in which students have responded to sustainability considerations in their work. I congratulate the winner, but this is a competition in which we are all winners, and it’s great to see AUB continuing to take a lead in developing projects which can encourage, inspire and educate”.

James Jackson, Environment and Sustainability Manager, said, “It’s never easy to compare the merits of projects, but this year’s winning project is fantastic: it’s simple but effective, and it’s already making a difference – and there’s a 5-year plan to take this forward”.

SUCCESS STORIES

MA Commercial Photography graduate shoots Portrait of Britain cover

MA Commercial Photography graduate

Aderopo Afolabi’s work has been selected to lead the fifth volume of Portrait of Britain from thousands of entrants taking part in the annual celebration of British portrait talent.

Aderopo’s image, which showed his model in a traditional African print fabric, was one of 99 portraits featured in the book.

Helmed by the British Journal of Photography and produced by Hoxton Mini Press, Portrait of Britain was created to highlight national diversity, with subjects demonstrating a myriad of different cultures, social groups, identities, and minorities.

Featured works were also exhibited on JCDecaux-owned ‘Out-of-Home’ digital screens across the country, including at train stations and bus stops.

AUB’s Events Management course receives prestigious industry award

AUB’s BA (Hons) Events Management course has been awarded Best Live Event by the Association for Events Management Education Awards (AEME).

The course, which saw off competition from more 46 other AEME-member university courses, won the accolade in recognition for its outstanding work on Alice in Spring, an Alice in Wonderland-themed festival based in Bournemouth town centre.

The event featured street theatre, circus performance, stilt characters, face painting and live music. Local businesses took part in the event via an interactive smartphone experience, while Victorian tea party performers entertained visitors alongside roaming actors, trapeze artists, unicyclists, and jugglers.

Make-up students serve up vintage looks at Goodwood Revival ‘22

AUB’s BA (Hons) Make-up for Media and Performance students have worked as part of an impressive team of artists delivering vintage looks for more than 168 period actors at Goodwood’s historic Revival Festival.

From Garland Girls to cabbies, and police officers to reporters, AUB students Reja Zaveckyte and Raff Clark were among the 50-strong crew delivering Goodwood Revival’s iconic vintage looks.

The event, which spans across four days, sees busy ‘track and circuit days’ where festival actors interact and perform alongside fired-up sports cars and spectators, visitors, and celebrities including Twiggy, Rowan Atkinson, Stanley Tucci and Andy Serkis.

Bin Laden’s Hard Drive: Award-winning Visual Communication work explores the life of the world’s most wanted man

BA (Hons) Visual Communication graduate Kurt Champion’s second-year work, Bin Laden’s Hard Drive, explored thousands of images in a visual, visceral installation examining the life, legacy, and eventual death of digital data.

The project aimed to embrace a concept called the ‘data lifecycle’, which charts the existence of data from its creation, through to its archive and then its destruction.

Once the installation was in place at AUB’s Drawing Studio, arts news outlet Creative Boom picked up on the story, generating international interest and pushing the project to new heights.

Bin Laden’s Hard Drive later headed to Barcelona’s Wix Playground OFFF Festival, where Kurt won the ‘On The Rise’ Award for Best Creative/Art Direction.

Firefighting fashion designer Milan Flicek takes aim at fashion waste

AUB graduate and fashion designer Milan Flicek is standing up to the fashion industry’s damaging dead-stock fires. Dead stocking is a destructive and damaging incineration practice taking place across the fashion industry. His controversially named collection STOP F****** BURNING CLOTHES featured in the pages of Vogue Scandinavia and at Copenhagen Fashion Week. His research also attracted the attention of the Danish government.

After winning the Fashion Design award at The Best in Design in the Czech Republic, Milan’s Copenhagen-based clothing brand OUR SHIFT combines activism with upcycling. His brand has attended events like Roskilde Festival, where the Circular Lab project saw them collect up disused festival tents to be remade into clothes.

RTS Southern Awards: a winning night for AUB animation and film graduates

AUB celebrated success with wins for animation, film production, drama and documentary at the 2023 RTS Southern Awards.

They dominated the animation category shortlist, with three out of three nominations for BA (Hons) Animation Production students. Judges chose Dadaland as the winner, with Moonseeker and Undertaker both receiving glowing reviews.

It was also a big night for BA (Hons) Film Production, taking home awards in two of the three categories they were nominated in. The Cubicle won Best Student Drama, while P Is For Paradise took home the Best Student Factual award.

The Mace is the work of the eminent craftsman and designer, John Makepeace OBE, who is an Honorary Fellow of Arts University Bournemouth. The Mace is made from ripple sycamore and comprises of 80 leaves reaching up to a silver crown. It represents the growth and realisation of knowledge.

John Makepeace received the Prince Philip Designers Prize in 2016.

MA Commercial Photography graduate Aderopo Afolabi is a Creative Photographer whose images celebrate African fashion, encourage diversity, challenge appearance-based discrimination, and explore modern day Britain. An image from Aderopo’s photography series ‘Black Women and Afrocentric Fashion’ was selected Portrait of Britain 2023 award winner and printed on the front cover of Portrait of Britain Vol 5 Book, published by Hoxton Mini Press.

Aderopo says: ‘12 months on from my own graduation ceremony, I am honoured to be invited to this year’s graduation as macebearer to celebrate the next cohort of very highly talented creative graduates from Arts University Bournemouth.’

The Pavilion Theatre and Ballroom

Advocated as early as 1859, proposals for a Pavilion building incorporating a concert room, reading rooms and cafes were first authorised by the municipal authorities in 1892. The architectural competition was won by a young and unknown firm of architects called Home and Knight.

On 19 March 1929, the building was opened by HRH The Duke of Gloucester. The building is Grade II.
