Dudu Sarr and Eric Soul Ages:

2-5pm |
|
Date:
Saturday 20 May 2006
Venue:
BCA Gallery, 1 Othello Close, Kennington,
London SE11 4RE |
| Overview:
The workshop will use film and audio resources
to examine how African music has influenced
more mainstream Western genres. The principal
theme will be the legacy and influence of
African music and its persistence in cultural
events such as carnival. The DJs will also
demonstrate links between hip hop and the
oral traditions of West Africa and introduce
participants to the way in which rap is increasingly
a mark of identity among urban African youth.
It will explore music as a way of defining
identity and introduce collaborative works
where African artists have worked with ‘Western’
musicians to produce groundbreaking new pieces
reworking traditional sounds from the continent.

WHAT
HAPPENS WHEN CULTURES MIX? PHOTO-GRAPHICS
WORKSHOP
Facilitator:
Jessica Antwi-Boasiako
Ages: 14-16
Entry:
FREE Time:
2-5pm |
|
Date:
Saturday 10 June 2006
Venue: BCA Gallery, 1 Othello Close,
Kennington, London SE11 4RE |
| Overview:
A creative workshop led by artists, illustrators
and designers to encourage participants to
mix images, ideas and stories from different
cultures. Using photography, drawings and
words made and brought to the workshop they
will transform prepared images from Britain/
London into large-scale collages. These collages
will blend images and memories from their
home cultures with their new London culture
to create a single scene. In making one image
that mixes and references both their home
and new cultures, participants are encouraged
to think about their visual environment, and
consider the similarities and differences
of their own cultures and the new culture
they are now living in. |
