The Newport Street Gallery currently hosts two distinct exhibitions that create an engaging yet divisive experience for visitors. The ground floor features various artists exploring interactions with nature through unique mediums, although some pieces, like glowing plastic boxes, might provoke confusion regarding their relation to the theme. The upstairs exhibition displays Scholars' rocks alongside significant military photographs, yet raises debate on the nature of art, as the collection feels more like a historical showcase than a true artistic statement. The exhibitions, curated by Connor Hirst and free to the public, are available until August 2025.
