Every week we bring you our special selection of all things arty. From interesting websites to highly anticipated performances for your diary, there is something to spark all kinds of creative interest.
1. Unexpected Exeter (15-22nd Sept)
If you fancy exploring the city during Freshers Week then you might come across Unexpected Exeter, a festival bringing arts and performance to unexpected locations across the city. From circus performances at Princesshay to sports and music at the Quay, this is the perfect way to venture away from campus and see what Exeter has to offer.

2. 27 Absolutely Stunning Underground Homes
This fascinating collection of quirky homes built into caves, hillsides, and other beautiful natural areas may leave you feeling slightly envious. Our particular favourites include the hillside home in Vals, Switzerland and the hogan in Arizona, although we’d also love to have a swim in the cave pool in Santorini, Greece.

3. Uni-versal Extras
Is being an extra in a film something you want to tick off your bucket list? Uni-versal Extras is a site targeted specifically towards students. “This is the opportunity of a lifetime for students to earn extra cash while they study in an exciting & well-paid industry.” The great thing about Uni-versal extras is that, unlike other “extras” sites, they do not charge you any fees.

4. Sworn Virgins of Albania Portraits
Photographer Jill Peters travelled to remote Albanian villages for her recent project, to capture portraits of women who have lived their lives as men. These ‘Sworn Virgins’ have assumed male identities in order for them to benefit from an elevated status, and to avoid becoming the property of men. The stunning portraits capture a tradition which is beginning to fade, and give an insight of the incredible sacrifice of the Sworn Virgins. To see the portraits click here.
5. “Grinding the Crack” – phenomenal base jumping video
This video is absolutely breathtaking and more than worth a watch. It shows Jeb Corliss, base jumper and extreme risk taker, literally flying through a canyon at over 100 miles per hour using multiple camera angles.
