Art Now

Between September 2021 - January 2023 Kettle’s Yard collaborated with students from Castle School, an inclusive school supporting SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) pupils in Cambridge, and artist-in-residence Georgia Akbar to deliver an innovative creative project focused on identifying and amplifying student’s creative voices.
In 2022 Akbar was selected by the students as the ART NOW artist in residence. She collaborated with students across the school to co-create artwork and develop a legacy of embedded co-production across the school. During the project students took part in experimental and creative workshops alongside Akbar and visited the Kettle’s Yard House for inspiration and ideas. The final artwork was particularly inspired by the light and shadows and the careful installation of windows at Kettle’s Yard. It invited audiences to immerse themselves, explore, discover and connect.
