Art and Purpose: Creative practice for an inclusive curriculum
Join us for art-making, practice sharing and networking with a special preview of our new exhibition Donald Rodney: Visceral Canker.
Suitable for educators of all stages, including Early Years, SEN/D practitioners, tutors at FE and HE and early career teachers.
Join Pasha Kincaid and Charlotte Tupper from our Associate Artist team around the galleries for activity and discussion linked to our new exhibition and themes of identity, racial justice and chronic illness.
Explore approaches to create supportive and safe environments for thinking, discussion and making in the classroom and curriculum.
The exhibition brings together nearly all that survives of Donald Rodney’s work. It includes painting, drawing, installation, sculpture and digital media with rare archive materials, including sketchbooks, unrealised and lost works. The exhibition highlights Rodney's significance to art history and his political awakening and development as an artist whilst studying at Trent Polytechnic (now Nottingham Trent University). The exhibition is presented alongside an archival display of Rodney's time at Trent Polytechnic at Bonington Gallery.
