The project (working title: The Art of Identity) will involve partnership with three Greater Manchester schools and engage over three hundred key stage three students per year (2-4 classes will be involved from each school). We are looking for three creative practitioners, one to work with each partner school, to produce a physical or digital output based on the topic of identity. Ideally, we would like practitioners who have experience of working with secondary school age children and would be confident translating their ideas into pieces of art with a cultural and historical context.
For further information and details of how to submit expressions of interest regarding this work, please see the attached 'Creative Practitioner Brief'.
Please also forward to colleagues who may have an interest in this work.
With many thanks,
Best Wishes
