This week saw the launch of an exciting, interactive art installation following 18-months of collaboration between , artist-in-residence Georgia Akbar and 听in Cambridge students.
Pupils from Castle School, an inclusive school supporting SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities), have been visiting Kettle鈥檚 Yard, part of the 探花直播 of Cambridge, since 2021 for inspiration and the opportunity to work with artist Georgia through experimental, creative workshops.
探花直播result is an inspiring and interactive artwork, inspired by the play of light and windows within Kettle鈥檚 Yard. It encourages visitors to look up, to interact and play with light, and notice how light can change the nature or appearance of our environment.
探花直播students combined their interest in film-making, projection, painting, drawing and installation to create the final artwork. They also found themselves so inspired by the artwork, they went on to create a new music composition which plays alongside the work.
探花直播project is the first of its kind for Castle School and Kettle鈥檚 Yard. Its aim has been to celebrate, amplify and importantly, be led by student voices. Pupils across the school, from early years up to sixth formers took part.
