There is a time for departure even when there's no certain place to go.

Tennessee Williams, 1953

"Here we are at the departure gate. We are standing here, waving and smiling as our students walk through - to set off on their next adventure. The degree show is our biggest annual event and this is the moment when we celebrate the academic, and creative, achievements of our students. Our students have been on a journey with us and now it's time for a new journey to start. For some this new journey will begin with employment, for some it means further study, for others it is about moving into a studio or setting up a business. Etymology is the study of the origin of words and the way they have changed over time. The words depart, departure and department share a very interesting etymology. The word 'depart' comes from the Od French word 'departir' - to divide, to separate oneself or part from each other. It can be broken down into 'de-part' but not, as we have implied, into dep-art. Strictly speaking it is not related to 'art' - but our end of year show celebrates a dep(art)ure that has art at its heart. Departures mean change and they also often mean uncertainty or risk. As our student depart, this also represents a departure for them all. They are graduating, leaving departing, going on a journey but this is also a departure from the life that they have lived while studying with us. It is both the beginning of a journey and also marks a significant change for all." - Dr. Rebekka Kill, Head of The Leeds School of Art, Architecture & Design

Therefore producing a visualistic and concise timeline of predominant cultural happenings and movements that have occurred from mid 1970’s – 2000’s, and played a key part in the social change of Manchester’s cultural aesthetic.
