The exhibition Theaster Gates: A Clay Sermon highlights the artist’s exploration of clay. The work explores craft, labour, performance and racial identity; the use of clay in building communities of knowledge, its role in colonialism and global trade and the ceremonial and ritual use of ceramics.
Artist Phoebe Collings-James draws on themes from her own practice to guide students through the exhibition, followed by a practical workshop. Through words, poetry and making with clay, students are asked to consider what objects are important to them.
This even is suitable for key stages 4 & 5 and is free to book. Please email education@whitechapelgallery.org to reserve your place.
