PG: Work Placement

Hi! This week, I've started my work placement in Durham Sixth Form Centre (DSFC). This work placement is part of my Critical Curatorship module. We went through an interview with the lecturer and confirmed our placement last year. My first day was filled with lesson observations in Fine Art class, Graphics lesson, Textiles, Photography and Foundation year. The A-level art students are very pleasant and talented. I was beyond delighted to interact with the students and the artist/ designer-in-residence. 

During the first week, I joined artists Theresa Easton and Theresa Poulton on the fourth of a six-week programme of workshops to learn more about anti-racism. I learnt about the recently launched African Lives in Northern England project to raise awareness and access the of the resources.
