Beyond Boundaries
Beyond Boundaries 2025 – Artwork online!
The 2025 Beyond Boundaries science-inspired art competition for state school children in Years 5-8 across Oxfordshire is now complete! You can view the artwork from this competition using the links below.
The University of Oxford’s Beyond Boundaries project, founded in 2018, aims to increase the visibility of Oxford’s Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic scientists and mathematicians, bridge the perceived divide between science and art, and further connect schools and local communities with the University. It’s all about encouraging school children to engage with science and art in fun and creative ways. Find out more about the Beyond Boundaries project here: ‘About the project‘.
In 2025 we profiled seven scientists from the Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences and Medical Sciences Divisions, who each identify as coming from Black, Asian or Minority-Ethnic backgrounds, and children were invited to create artwork inspired by their lives in science.
Winners are invited to an awards presentation in the summer of 2025, where selected entries will be displayed.
A public exhibition will be displayed in the Andrew Wiles Building from 5 August to 22 August 2025. The exhibition will be downstairs from the main entrance (reception will be able to guide you) and will show as many of the eligible entries as we can fit.
