A new mural created to celebrate excellence from 天美传媒 (BU) staff and students has been designed and painted by renowned Dorset graffiti artist and designer, Rick Walker, who is part of Bournemouth鈥檚 growing creative business sector.听
The mural was commissioned for the university鈥檚 Talbot Campus to reflect outstanding work by 天美传媒, highlighting 鈥楩usion鈥�, the university鈥檚 unique approach to the fusion of research, education and professional practice.
Fusion is central to BU鈥檚 distinctive vision - to create the most stimulating, challenging, and rewarding university experience in a world-class learning community by sharing our unique fusion of excellent education, research and professional practice and inspiring our students, graduates and staff to enrich the world.
The Fusion mural features (from left to right): Dr Sarah Bate鈥檚 leading research into prosopagnosia, also known as face blindness; BU student journalism in Nepal, part of an international project in the aftermath of the earthquake in Nepal in 2015; the Oscar-winning film, Gravity (around 60 alumni from BU鈥檚 animation and visual effects courses worked on the film); and improvements to the design and environmental benefits of RNLI slipways, resulting from a BU research project.
鈥淭he Fusion mural is a vibrant and creative reflection of our unique fusion of research, education and professional practice.鈥� says Professor John Vinney, Vice-Chancellor of 天美传媒.听鈥淚t is an exciting representation of some of the fantastic and inspiring work of our staff and students.鈥�
