Event Info: Iniva (Institute of International Visual Arts) and A Space’s second set of Emotional Learning Cards, ‘Who are you? Where are you going?’, follows the success of the ‘What do you feel?’ cards, praised by teachers, parents and art therapists, the new set is designed for use by all age groups. This demonstration workshop explores practical and creative ways to use the Emotional Learning Cards at home and in a school or college, gallery or museum. Led by artist Gayle Chong Kwan, a London-based artist who exhibits and works on projects internationally and whose artwork ‘Babel’ from her photographic series ‘Cockaigne’ (2004) features on the cards, the themes covered relate to how we form our sense of self and give shape to our identity, revealed or hidden in our personal and cultural belief systems, values and attitudes. By mapping our emotional and social histories, we increase our insight into who we are and where we come from, enabling us to make more informed decisions over where we are going and what we want from our lives and relationships.

I will be presenting a paper on ‘Invisible Twinning’, the project (with exhibition and accompanying publication) commissioned by Haus de Kulturen der Welt, Berlin developed by myself, artist Giulia Giannola and curator Francesca Mila Nemni, where we have been working with Berlin’s allotment holders and KGA and immigrants for the past year around wider ideas of health, food and growing as well as the invisibility of immigrants in Berlin and Germany.

I will be participating in a round-table discussion as part of the Conference
Please join me for an epic ‘Sensory Banquet’ at the foot of the white cliffs at Samphire Hoe, Dover, on Sunday 28 August.
I was commissioned as Artist in Residence at Samphire Hoe by Kent Cultural Baton/Eurotunnel/White Cliffs Countryside Partnership. Throughout August I have been working at Samphire Hoe, officially the ‘newest’ land in Kent, which was created out of the 4.9 million cubic metres of chalk marl dug to create the Channel Tunnel. Covering a 30 hectare site that nestles at the foot of the white cliffs of Dover, Samphire Hoe provides a haven for people and wildlife.
I am now developing a sensory map and resource which will be available to visitors to Samphire Hoe and online later in September.
August – onwards 2011
