Can watching a play or theatre change someone's life? Watch this new 5 part video impact case study on "Essentially Black" by Purple Moon Drama Tanya Blake, the Sports and Enrichment Coordinator at New City College’s Tower Hamlets campus, tells us how one play supported their students to have challenging conversations about institutional racism and their own experiences. The play examines the Black and mixed race experience at UK’s elite universities and is set against the backdrop of the ‘Rhodes Must Fall’ movement at Oxford University in 2016. ➡ Watch now: https://lnkd.in/eVwbiZcP A Foundation for Future London Collaborative Commission 2022, co-funded by the City of London Corporation. #theatre #BPOC #diverse #project #impact #casestudy #video #London #EastLondon #grantprogramme #racism #students #youngpeople #conversations #cityoflondon #theatre #BPOC #diverse #project #impact #casestudy #video #London #EastLondon #grantprogramme #racism #students #youngpeople #conversations #cityoflondon

Three print artworks created by young Londoners in response to the climate crisis are currently being displayed on Picadilly Lights, selected from 1,600 young artists from 31 schools, as part of this year’s Young London Print Prize. The Foundation for Future London is pleased to have supported the project again through our Westfield East Bank Creative Futures Fund. “Arts education plays a massive role in transforming children and young people’s life chances. That’s why funding from our Westfield East Bank Creative Futures Fund, in partnership with Westfield Stratford City, supports projects like the Young London Print Prize. It provides an inclusive, creative, youth-led programme for young East Londoners to have a voice about the climate emergency and illustrates why arts education needs to be at the heart of our national curriculum,” said Sarah Nelson, CEO, Foundation for Future London. The three winners are: Pema Sherpa from Foxfield Primary School; Muiz Mustafa from Shepherds Bush; and Emma Tasnim from Whitechapel. Their work will be exhibited alongside Britain’s best loved contemporary artists, including Damien Hirst, Yinka Ilori, and Michael Craig-Martin, at the Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair from 21 – 24 November.
