| 14 artists & working with 200 kids 3 weeks Silversands Barbados |
Organised
by Art & Culture Exchange an artists collective based in Basildon Essex. I taught painting & drawing with the older
kids & helped with the 2 murals that were painted. Fourteen artists took part in the project over July and August
enabling us to see the the cropover festival. We slept on the tiled floor of newly built classrooms, but the local people
welcomed us into their homes to feed us.
There
was also Drama workshops, mask making for young children, and a football coach.
The children
had an art exhibition & put on a cabaret performance for the end of the residency that made the front page of their
national newspaper.
