Art-making workshops for teachers
Join ACCA Education as we host a day of discussion and experimental art-making with Overlapping Magisteria Artists Sidney McMahon and Robert Andrew. During this 1-day program, we will also briefly hear from Overlapping Magisteria co-curator and ACCA Artistic Director & CEO Max Delany before undertaking a series of exploratory and playful art-making workshops with each artist.
This is the first in our year-long series of hands-on workshops for teachers and is an ideal professional development opportunity for educators of all disciplines.
Please note places are strictly limited so get in quick!
Sidney McMahon works across sculptural installation, video and performance, with an interest in architecture and the body, memory and feeling. McMahon’s works bring together seemingly incommensurate cultural contexts and economies – agricultural, industrial, psychological and erogenous – to reflect on the personal narratives that inform the artist’s contemporary identity; from an upbringing in regional Queensland to queer cultural references and sensibility.
Robert Andrew, a descendant of the Yawuru people from the Broome area of the Kimberley, Western Australia, creates sculptural installations which explore tensions between old and new cultural and material forms. Andrew’s works reflect his personal relationship to land, culture and language, as well as wider narratives related to the encounter between Indigenous and settler colonial cultural heritages.
