Oxford may be famed for its historical architecture and university spires, but a new exhibition of art in the grand old city has come from the most unusual of sources.
Away from the fabled halls and impressive gallery spaces that can be found, it is a humble caravan hosting the latest exhibition, in the car park at Oxford Castle.
Artists Jan Williams and Chris Teasdale are bringing the Caravan Gallery from Portsmouth to Oxford until May 12th.
Called the Oxford Pride of Place Project, the exhibition includes a series of photos that aim to document the ‘nooks and crannies’ of this most idiosyncratic of cities.
The caravan will be stationed outside the castle’s O3 Gallery, where an accompanying exhibition is on display until May 27th.
Speaking to the Oxford Mail, Ms Williams said: “We want people to come along and join in with the exhibitions, it’s going to be a wonderfully anarchic celebration of Oxford.
“As well as our own photos, we have a big map of Oxford which we would like people to come and write their memories, their favourite things, where they had their first snog, anything like that on.”
