Open Call: BCU Graduate Studio Programme

A landscape image of an A2 poster board outside on a street. The board is pasted with an A2 white poster that holds text in orange and pink tones with a wobbly, fuzzy edge. The text reads 'Languages of Intimacy, Bella Milroy and Khairani Barokka, 16 Oct - 27 Nove 2025.' Smaller black text, which is illegible from the distance is below the colorful text. Behind the poster board, a road, large brick buildings, and a metal railing are visible in the soft daylight.

A landscape image of a structure floating within the dark water of a canal. The wooden structure is covered in burlap and contains eight sunken compartments that contain water and green plants.

Green plants and trees grow along the wall, behind which an industrial landscape and train tracks are visible.

Surrounding the Bothy, there is a gravel floor, tall brick walls, and a variety of green plants, which are partially visible in the frame. Pale blue sky peaks through gaps in the fluffy white clouds above.
