You are warmly invited to join us in the S. Ann Colbourne gallery in Rhodes House for the opening of our latest exhibition, Show Me Why You Love Home, featuring artworks by Rhodes Scholars, Atlantic Fellows and Schmidt Science Fellows.
Contributors to the Show Me Why You Love Home exhibition are working with a wide range of media and representing many different interpretations of what 'home' is, how it can be found, and the ways to celebrate it.
