Event Description

A major new international exhibition, Post Office Cultures, opens at the Bath House Gallery, Sovereign Design House at the University of Huddersfield, running from Monday 29 June to 2 September 2026. This exhibition invites visitors to explore the histories, memories and meanings of post offices in the UK and India through creative scanning practices, research and community collaboration. Post Office Cultures is an Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) funded project developed through a university partnership between the University of Huddersfield (UK) and World University of Design (India). The exhibition presents work by researchers, artists and communities from Dewsbury, Huddersfield, Shimla and Delhi. Through creative methods including 3D digital laser scanning, filmmaking, letter writing, sound recording, oral histories and podcasting, the project presents new ways of understanding place and local connection. These creative methods help to surface voices and experiences that are often overlooked. They also connect traditional heritage practices with contemporary digital tools and processes.
