Jennifer Banfield CV
During my time at Newcastle University, I took part in eight group exhibitions and two prior. I gained skills in collaborating, organising and curating an exhibition.
Some key exhibitions include:
May-June 2022: Under One Roof
The class of 2020, Newcastle University Fine Art Graduates showcase their artwork for the first time since the disruption to their final year degree show.
May 2017, 2018, 2019: BALTIC Self-Publishing Artists’ Market
(2017 I exhibited as part of Newcastle University) (2018-2020 I organised and ran the stall, representing Newcastle University and the students exhibiting).
I have organised the University’s contribution to the Baltic Self-Publishing Artists’ Market for the last three years. A self-driven project to allow students the opportunity to exhibit their books and zines at the Baltic. I have run it independently for the last few years and had the opportunity to collaborate with and mentor one of my peers to continue to project after my graduation.
November 2018: Fig Bilbao exhibition, ‘Cubes of Temptation’
I was selected to represent Newcastle University printmaking department, for the group printmaking exhibition in Fig Bilbao, Spain. I exhibited an array of print and plaster pieces in an immersive 2msq cube.
May 2019: ‘Here’s One I Made Earlier’ group exhibition at the Hancock pub
In this group exhibition, I was a lead organiser, in which my role was correspondence lead and funding coordinator. I secured Bartlett Offsite funding to facilitate this exhibition. The aim of this exhibition was aimed at improving inclusivity and accessibility to students and the public intellectually and physically.

The cabinet was filled with pieces based on the Killhope Mining Museum’s exhibit and estate.
