OUR TURN Festival Launch: Practice Bradford
You joined us at Loading Bay to officially launched the OUR TURN festival with Practice Bradford!
Practice Bradford was the first exhibition in the OUR TURN programme, showcasing ambitious new work by four exciting early career Bradford artists: Joanna Byrne, Atiyya Mirza, Liv Preston, and Saba Siddiqui.
This special launch evening was your chance to be among the first to experience the exhibition. We also shared more about the wider OUR TURN programme – which was an exciting season of visual arts celebrations across the district, led by Bradford artists.
Curated by Yorkshire Contemporary, the exhibition was the culmination of Practice: Bradford, an artist development programme providing funding, mentorship, and professional development. The programme was delivered in partnership with Bradford Producing Hub and Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture.
