Anna Dermitzaki and Francesca Edwards are alumnae whose time at university was impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. They used the experience as inspiration to expand their creative work outside of Loughborough and have recently curated an exhibition.

‌Anna and Francesca (Fine Art 2020) were in their final year at Loughborough when the pandemic began. As a result, their final year exhibition was unable to take place in person 

Beyond the Bubble is an exhibition focused on images of nostalgia and uses double meanings which stem from their time at the Universitywith ‘Bubble’ referring to a familiar term for Loughborough. The title of the exhibition also refers to their achievements as alumnae, taking their work further - both artistically and moving to a different location. 

The exhibition celebrated the work of the Fine Art 2020 cohort, with 18 further alumni exhibiting as part of Beyond the Bubble. The artists were:

  • Scarlet Alford
  • Chris Bingham
  • Emma Bott-Watermeyer
  • Ciaran Buttress
  • Amber Cannings
  • Helena Dagnali
  • Anna Dermitzaki
  • Francesca Edwards
  • Rosanna Frith-Salem
