CHERTL Arts Archive

CHERTL Arts Archive
This Archive provides an alternative space to explore the complexities of lived experience(s) in higher education, and extend the imaginative, expressive, empathetic and projective possibilities of such engagement. Thus the ‘texts’ here include literature (popular fiction, non-fiction, novels and short stories etc), film, TV series, music, plays and visual art. You may contribute to and/or borrow from this archive. Operating much like a book club, a growing selection of these can be borrowed for a period of time and then returned, or simply information accessed from this site.
