This session will explore works in the collection displays, focusing on artists working through socially engaged practice and using technology creatively.
We’ll think about networks, and how technology can connect communities - looking at examples of artists working across the globe. We’ll also consider how artists document their research and process, and share strategies that encourage students to record their learning.
Work with artists and peers to:
- Develop your students’ creative and critical thinking skills.
- Reflect on your own and other’s learning through a shared dialogue around art.
- Gather new ideas and activities to be developed back at school.
We believe that being with art can positively impact young people’s intellectual, social and emotional wellbeing and that all young people should have access to a critically engaged art education. We are committed to opening up the museum as an alternative learning environment for you and your students.
Our Study Days will equip you with the confidence, advice and creative ideas needed to take up the museum as a teaching tool to extend and complement your classroom practice.
Biography
Hannah Kemp-Welch's practice is socially engaged and concerned with listening. Working with diverse constituencies to record conversations, stories and local histories, works emerge through the voices of participants, layered with environmental and imagined sounds. Hannah is interested in knowledge exchange, and increasingly makes works for broadcast as well as installation and performance. Projects are documented through zines, opening out central questions and encouraging collective action as a catalyst for change.
