The exhibition, which will be opened by Prof. Kerstin Mey, President, ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ, and Project Leader Dr. Florence Le Baron-Earle, School of Modern Languages and Applied Linguistics, showcases fifty comic-style illustrations and celebrates the ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ's diversity through the capturing of funny and authentic cross-cultural incidents experienced by UL students and staff.

The event is funded by UL Visual Arts (Corporate Secretary's Office); ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ Arts Office(Student Affairs Division); the School of Modern Languages and Applied Linguistics; the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences Faculty Teaching Board; the ADI Internationalisation Fund; UL Global; and the Tell Your Own Story Project.

We hope you enjoy the illustrations which the project members have worked hard to create over the past few months, and that you will be able to visit the exhibition in UL at some point to experience their artwork in person!
