I was artist in residence at Garnetbank Primary School for the academimc year 2022-3:
The residency ran from October 2022 to June 2023 and Emma developed and delivered a series of creative and collaborative workshops with pupils at the school focused on movement and identity. Based on themes of ‘Celebrating Culture, Diversity and Language’ , this residency concluded with a public exhibition and a school festival at the beginning of June. The public exhibition included the film (below), an installation containing the ceramics (above) and a large vinyl score on the floor (a score drawn by the children). The festival included these elements and also live performances by the children, for parents and guests at the school’s multicultural festival.
