GET THE MESSAGE 

Get the Message is a Camden Arts Centre project working with young people and teachers from local Special Educational Needs schools in collaboration with artists. The project aims to increase creative opportunities within the arts for people with profound and multiple learning disabilities; to foster a sense of belonging at the Centre and to encourage confidence and independence through collaborative activities that champion all forms of communication and expression. 

In 2016/2017 I worked with Betsy Dadd and Andrew Omoding  to run workshops working intensively with the same groups across the year

In July 2017 the project culminated in the exhibition Making Something Adding More, focussing on embodiment,  transformation, and reinvigoration of everyday materiality.  . 

The young artists involved in the project were: Ahmed, Ahmed, Ajanthan, Elyse, Jaadzaib, Jamal, Jonathan, Kehinde, Kevin, Kubilay, Marcelo, Nadine, Nayeem, Neesa, Pharell, Sabrina, Sajad, Skylar, Taiwo, Tousif, Tristan, Tyler, Uros, Viviana and Yair.
