PEER/Participate

St. Monica's rc Primary school 2011/2012

Maria Amidu has been working with pupils, teachers, parents and carers at St. Monica's Primary School to explore the relationship between language and art making. Teasing out a number of concerns from her own practice, Amidu’s ambitions for the project were to encourage and foster collaborative working among pupils across age groups, and to reveal how speaking, listening, reading and writing are vehicles for self-expression and creativity in both graphic and sonic forms.

The exhibition, Dolphin Loves Disco is the culmintaion of the project and was shown at PEER from 12 to 21 July 2012. Click here for more information.
