TEACHERS BRIEFING – #FridayFact with Holly Graham
A briefing with artist Holly Graham about her new video work and creative resource #FridayFact, commissioned for Goldsmith CCA’s Schools Programme. In this video Holly introduces her practice and provides an overview of the video and KS2 resource for teachers. Holly also answers questions posed by Year 4 pupils at Prendergast Primary School about her work. The recording ends with Emma Webster, Curriculum Lead at Prendergast, providing some insights from having run #FridayFact and reflects on the impact the project has had on young learners.
This is a recording of a live online event that took place on the 5th November 2020.
#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.
