Mapping Interconnectedness, 2024
A co-design project with Old Basford School, Nottingham, exploring whether inner-city students should care about the Polar Regions (prompted by their feature in the Year 5 lesson plan). I spent a full term in residence with Year 5 pupils, two days a week, working towards a final piece ~ a multi-scalar map based on the red, blue, yellow and green parachutes common in schools.
Imagery of the Arctic and South Pole have dominated climate narratives for so long, when for many people, these images do not connect to their daily lives. Mapping Interconnectedness comments on the visual narratives of climate change, and how these impact how we relate to our changing environment.
Part of the Creativity Collaboratives initiative in Nottingham, led by Arts Council England, with partners around the UK.
