John Grant, Exeter University Lemon Grove, Wednesday 16 October 2013
Before you read this, do yourself a favour and have a listen to Queen Of Denmark , the 2010 debut solo album by former Czars frontman John Grant. If you don't already know it, it is an awed and heartbroken classic; a frank dissection of its author's troubled life and loves as well as a proud declaration of his homosexuality: sad, touching, funny and nostalgic, it is one of the finest records of recent years: a bold lyrical honesty couched in honeyed melodies.
A group of Exeter University students are taking part in the prestigious Npower’s future leaders challenge, which sees those teams involved setting up a project to promote sustainable living in their local community.
The successful team will win a trip to the Brazilian Amazon, spending 10 days helping tribes people set up solar panels. As part of the Npower’s future leaders challenge students Sophie Walton, Flo Taylor, Catriona Patterson, and Harriet Miller have created the Exeter Style Cycle, an online shopping clothes swapping forum.
Share in the wonder that objects and their stories can arouse. Inspired by the early Cabinets of Curiosity, local people display their own collections of objects to represent their lives, past and present, and their aspirations for the future.
In creating these displays, Exeter’s Youth Inclusion and Support Team, young people, parents, carers and others discovered how objects and their stories can help connect us to other times and places, understand how our world became the place it is and help us find our own place in it.
What objects would tell the story of your life?...

Evening performances at 7.30pm, matinee on 2 November at 2pm.
