In 2010 Hackney Wicked had its first full education programme; over 150 local school pupils made artwork of an installation of canal barges, while families and festival goes took part in a Hackney Wicked treasure hunt.
In 2011 the programme was responsible for the conception of ‘Exchange Projects’ a residency
for six artists based on Queens Yard for four months. During this time they
received over 1500 members of the public into their space, ran workshops, held
talks, curated shows and staged a play.
In 2012 the education programme was
re-named ‘Development’ to reflect the festivals commitment to developing links
with the community whilst developing local artists and sustaining local
artistic practice in hackney wick and Fish Island.
Now uniquely in Hackney Wick, the
artistic community is becoming the local community.
We are working on a number of
projects that sit somewhere between professional development for artists and
facilitating an exchange of ideas, methodologies, skills and stories between
practicing artists and creative locals young and old.
