We Know More Than We Can Tell: Inaugural UCL BA Media Degree Show

Opening event: 5 June 2024, 6 – 9pm, tickets required
Exhibition: 6 - 15 June 2024, tickets required
Location: UCL East (Marshgate and One Pool Street)

The first graduating students of the BA Media programme at University College London present “We Know More Than We Can Tell“, a diverse showcase of podcasts, documentaries, games, and short fictional films exploring the infinite possibilities of knowledge production in the digital age.  

This free showcase invites you to experience how different media might be used to explore and express complex, often unspoken forms of knowledge. It reflects on science philosopher Michael Polanyi's influential work on 'tacit knowledge', the idea that much of our understanding of the world is gained implictly through experience and beyond what we can easily articulate using language.

Students will offer fresh, personal perspectives on media and interrogate its role in creating and communicating both tacit and explicit forms of knowledge: how the media is made, how it’s experienced, its social function, its history and what its future might be.

This exhibition emerges from 3 years of practice-based research and innovation across disciplinary boundaries, including media histories, media and cultural studies, anthropology, digital art, games design and film making.

"We Know More Than We Can Tell" will feature 56 degree projects at the Marshgate building and a screening program at the One Pool Street Cinema at UCL East Campus.

Join us between 5th-15th June for thought-provoking exhibits, screenings, and lively discussion on what we know, what we don’t, and what we can tell.

Tickets are available on Eventbrite for each exhibition day and individual screenings, and the opening event on 5th June. Plan your visit and book tickets.
