We have confirmed with the venue our dates for setting up the space and our private view.
I have applied to multiple grants and I am just waiting for them to review my application.
We meet the practitioners, we will be having a call with them soon to fully confirm the workshop schedules and to look at and help them with the content.
We are doing well with getting things done early, so that we have less stress closer towards the date.
We have been able to secure a venue for our exhibition, and we have the dates confirmed (mid May). This means we have been able to work on getting the exhibiiton ready.
We have split up the tasks we need to complete to get the exhibition ready:
So far we have made good progress and decided on our social media promotional material, I can’t share the social media posters for the exhibition just yet but when I can I will add them.
I have been applying for available grants/funding opportunities I have found in the Streatham, and reaching out to local community groups to ask if they would be willing to have our flyer up in their centres/ on their socials.
Which of the Climate, Racial, Social Justice principles does your idea align with?
Our SIP is about cultural justice and the importance in embracing diversity so it would fall under racial justice and fostering futures thinking.
What will be the next steps for your project?
We have managed to find a venue (still in the process of confirming with this venue). Our next steps are to contact schools in the local area, finalise our social media, and finalise our workshop itinerary!
For the exhibition, we are now working on the social media branding whilst we are working on securing a venue. These are some mock ups I’ve done for possible posts.
The exhibition has been moved to April so we have some more time to work things out.
To update, whilst waiting for the bounce fund to open we have started with our exhibition branding. We are deciding on font, ‘logo’, and colour pallet. Currently we are thinking of a neutral pallet with a red colour accent.
Before we break up for Christmas I would like to have decided what workshop activities we want to host, what practitioners we want, are we doing a private view and if so who are we inviting, making list of schools around possible venues.
Right now our exhibition ‘Unity Without Uniformity’ is still a big work in progress.
So far we’ve:
-emailed venues
-decided our theme
-applied for an Art England grant
What we want to get done this month:
-decided number of pieces to display
-email Chelsea for printing quote
-branding
-exhibition statement
My SIP is going to be an exhibition I am putting together with another DPS student who I am doing my placement alongside of.
We are doing holding an exhibition for UN Social Justice Day, 20th Feb. It is going to be a 2 week exhibition. We have chosen the theme of Unity Without Uniformity. The exhibition will display work from the Never Such Innocence archive.
So far we have come up with our idea and emailed multiple venues that we are interested in. I have applied for a grant from the Arts Council England, if we get this grant we will be able to hire a venue, otherwise we have to try and get one for free.
Next up we have to work on strengthening the exhibition narrative, creating a statement, and out branding for the promotional material.
