You may know of the Irene Manton building on the University of Leeds Campus, but who was Irene Manton? Manton was a pioneering botanist and electron microscopist. She spent much of her career at Leeds, where she worked as Professor of Botany and carried out influential research on ferns and algae.

A photo of the grey Irene Manton Building shot through the green leaves of small trees.

A photo of printed out black and white microscope images laid out messily. Semi-opaque black text boxes read: 'Manton pioneered the use of the electron microscope!', 'Her archive is held by Cultural Collections and reflects her wide-ranging research interests, networks, and approaches to scientific examination', 'She owned a significant collection of modern art, which she was known to use in teaching her students. Much of this art was hung in Botany House, alongside some of her own micrograph images', 'Cultural Collections hold thousands of photographs, glass slides and negatives within the archive which provide a great insight into the way she worked and how she made some of her amazing discoveries!' and 'The Biological Sciences building is named in Manton’s honour!'

In 2023 Kira Freije's 'On the Underside of her Breath' welcomed visitors into Contested Bodies. In 2025 Simeon Barclay's 'If This Is A Safe Space' illuminated Parkinson Court at the entrance to [uz],[uz],[uz]: Artists from Working-Class Backgrounds. Turner Prize 2026 is at MIMA until 29 March 2027.

White text on black over a photograph of an artwork reads

"Kira Freije (b.1985, United Kingdom)
On the Underside of her Breath
2019
Steel, cast aluminium, fur

The pose of this sculpture is both theatrical and powerful: a modern-day warrior woman. A feeling of desire permeates through the figure. Her body armour and the strength of her facial pose hint at the complexity of intimacy and protection in human relations.
This work is exemplary of the sculptural practice of Kira Freije, an artist who works with metals that she welds, casts and manipulates. Freije often references the figure, the domestic, and the psychological within her work."

White text on black over a photograph of an artwork reads

"Simeon Barclay (b. 1975)
If This is a Safe Space
2025
Decommissioned parachute and neon

The piece reflects Simeon Barclay’s experience of navigating the UK education system as a Black person from a working-class background. In the artist’s words: ‘If This is a Safe Space addresses the complexities of moving through thresholds, the anxiety of adapting to new social norms and the psychological questioning born of being in uncharted territory.’
Barclay is interested in exploring the social dynamics of memory, class, desire and inheritance. He uses these themes as catalysts for producing works that, with humorous undertones, come to express the paradoxes and ambiguities of situating and defining ourselves within culture and tradition."
