Am really excited to let you know that I kicked off the flipside project today with a two hour pedagogical workshop at primary school Ecole Jacques Prévert, Tourcoing, The children were really engaged, asked lots of questions and we covered topics such as Australian identity, personal narratives, time, image-making technology and feminism. After living in France for four years I found an absence of contemporary Australian artwork and wanted to make a program that opens up a dialogue about emerging Australian practices in France. So I have been organising a program that presents the work of Hayley Brandon, Pirrin Francis, Sally Chicken and Benjamin Crowley. The outcome is an exhibition in the Galerie Commune, Tourcoing the 12th-20th May 2016 and as part of the program there will be a series of artist talks, pedagogical workshops with local schools and a four day workshop at the Ecole Superieure d'Art Nord Pas de Calais.
