If you’re a teacher or educator wondering how to approach contemporary art and talk about it with learners in the classroom, join us for a focused session exploring connections between contemporary art and anti-racism. This session is hosted by Goldsmiths CCA in collaboration with South London Gallery (SLG) and Mountview where, alongside brief introductory prompts drawing on contemporary artistic practice (the work of Eugenio Dittborn) and a framework of big ideas for talking about art, we will be introducing Making Sense, a collaborative digital resource and online community that enables creativity to be used as a tool for exploring anti-racism, inclusion and recovery in our classrooms and institutions.

We will be using an ‘open space’ format for this event, which means that, following introductions, those attending decide what they want to talk about in response to the territory of anti-racism and contemporary art. It is an energising and powerful framework to enable conversations as a big group, through lots of breakout groups.

Open Space is a great opportunity to talk about and explore the change you’d like to see, challenges you might be facing in your practice, through exchanging with peers.

The event will be relaxed, informal and inclusive – we hope to foster a space for generosity and exchange.

The event will be hosted jointly by Trish Scott (Goldsmiths CCA), Neil Walton (Goldsmiths), Carey Robinson (SLG) and Sarah Preece (Mountview).

This event will take place online. Book via the ‘tickets’ link below.
