#FridayFact briefing with artist Holly Graham
If you’re a teacher or educator join us online at 4:30pm on November 5th to hear from artist Holly Graham about her new video work and creative resource #FridayFact. We will also be joined by Emma Webster, Curriculum Lead at Prendergast Primary School, who will provide some insights from having tested the programme, and some FAQs from children who’ve participated.
This event will take place online. Please book a ticket through the link below, and you will be emailed with information on joining the conversation, and a full resource pack, a day before the event is due to take place. The format will be quite informal so on the day grab a cup of tea and join us with any questions you may have.
#FRIDAYFACT BACKGROUND
#FridayFact is a new, cross-curricular resource, to support children and young people to consider their identity and sense of the world around them, in relation to colonialism and its legacies. The resource centres around Holly’s newly commissioned artwork focused on the history of sugar production, with lesson plans and supportive materials for four accompanying workshops to engage KS2 learners in discussion, research and creative enquiry.
Session plans touch on themes of movement and migration, histories and storytelling, sugar and slavery, culinary culture, as well as racism and the Black Lives Matter Movement. The workshops introduce different creative skills (printmaking, painting, creative writing and bookbinding) on a journey resulting in whole class publications.
