About

Thursday 5th June | 2025 | 4:30pm - 6:30pm

Nottingham Contemporary 

Tickets: FREE but booking is required in advanced 

Join our Associate Artist Charlotte Tupper for an artmaking and practice-sharing educator session in our galleries with a special tour of our new exhibition Your Ears Later Will Know to Listen (running until 7 Sep).

This group exhibition Your Ears Later Will Know to Listen explores how sound moves through cultures, histories and futures. The exhibition has opportunities for curriculum links to history, geography, science and DT, allowing teachers and pupils to connect through a range of themes. The exhibition features artworks that 'listen back' to uncover hidden or forgotten histories and create new moments to understand sound in a range of ways through migration, movement, visually and in our memories whilst encouraging visitors to consider the different ways we 'listen'.

Experiment with approaches to create environments for discussion, reflective thinking and making in the classroom by previewing our gallery resources developed by our Associate Artist team who work in schools across the city.

Explore artworks including videos, sound installations, sculptures, textiles, paintings, and performances.

Meet our learning team and find out more about our schools offer, including paid-for artist workshops and free self-led visits.

Suitable for educators of all stages, including Early Years, SEN/D practitioners, tutors at FE and HE, and early career teachers.
