A day of talks, case studies, and relationship-building that consider the changing landscape of arts education. How do the ways in which we 'teach' the arts reflect or determine the culture we live in? How are radical and forward-thinking organisations bringing new models for teaching and learning to places traditionally ignored by legacy arts institutions? And how can we build collective and individual practices that enable ambitious work within ever-more constrained material conditions?

Jason Evans & Tamu Nkiwane

The Viper Room (The Empire Basement), 43 Marine Parade, Great Yarmouth
Jason Evans and Tamu Nkiwane will share their approaches to art making, discussing their inspirations and techniques which encompass photography, curation, film-making and sound production.
Jason Evans grew up in Great Yarmouth, and began to attain notoriety thanks to his highly innovative and radical series of photographs titled 'Strictly' which was published by i-D magazine in 1991 (which is part of the Tate's collection). See also the Daily Nice.
Jason has gone on to be included in and curate numerous exhibitions, produce artwork and take portraits for various musicians and celebrities including Four Tet, Grayson Perry, Radiohead, Ronaldo and more. He has recently undertaken various projects with community groups including the Garden Gate Project in Margate. He has also worked with residents from Herring House to collaboratively form C L A Y H E M - a group who created a musical performance using a collection of studio pottery for YARMONICS. You can hear recording of performance by C L A Y H E M here.
Tamu Nkiwane uses punk approaches to explore heritage and identity through various media, including film-making, sculpture, activism, music and more.
His short moving image work 'Apocrypha', "a conversation about heritage and spiritualism with a Sangoma (South African spiritualist) who lives and works in a barber shop in Walthamstow" was featured in the BBC's New Creatives series. See it here.
