Join Nottingham Contemporary for an art-making and practise sharing educator session, with a special preview of new exhibitions from artists Allan Weber and Daniel Lind-Ramos.

Explore approaches to create environments for discussion, reflective thinking and making in the classroom by previewing gallery resources developed by Associate Artist Milee Lee. Meet the learning team and find out more about the schools offer, including paid for artist workshops and free self-led visits. The gallery's team of artists work in schools across the city. Join them around the galleries for exploratory activities linked to upcoming exhibitions and themes of environmentalism, symbolism and creativity as social activism.

About the Artists:

Between Sun 2nd Feb – Sun 4th May the two exhibitions will be running concurrently in the galleries:

Allan Weber: My Order

Allan is an artist born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Working across a range of mediums including assemblage, installation, sculpture, and photography, he explores the realities of daily life within the favelas of Rio de Janeiro. His work incorporates material and visual elements he views as linked to life in the favelas.

Daniel Lind-Ramos: Ensamblajes

Daniel works and lives in Loíza, Puerto Rico, creating large scale sculptures from found and gifted objects of personal, communal, and regional significance such as debris, decorative objects, and everyday tools exploring themes of environmentalism and Puerto Rico’s culture and history. The exhibition will showcase five large sculptures that weave together the artist’s multi-layered practice, including one new large-scale work created for this exhibition.
