Any current Loughborough University student can enter, including undergraduates, postgraduates and doctoral researchers. The mural will be installed as vinyl on the glass fronted entrance to Martin Hall Exhibition Space and will remain in place for the duration of the exhibition (10 March - 3 April 2025).
The Five Pillars exhibition will celebrate Muslim identities and Islamic culture at Loughborough University and regionally by bringing together students, doctoral researchers, staff, community members and residents in one showcase. The exhibition aims to create awareness about the lived experiences of Muslims within and beyond academia, spotlight the contributions of members and explore the notion of ‘new futures’.
Design Brief
Your design should align with the ‘Five Pillars’ exhibition theme – the lived experiences of Muslims and new futures for communities within Loughborough University or wider society. It could also reference one or more of the exhibition's sub-themes: Five pillars of Islam, The Art of Science, Reimagine, Object narratives or Communication.
