Failure and not knowing can be positive
Reflections from artist Meera Chauda on collaborating with young people:
1. I am interested in how young people and their understanding of the world helps them to engage with art contemporary art.
2. It’s good to leave with questions not answers - and it’s ok to ask questions we can't answer.
3. Responding to individual needs - exploring different strands. Responding and shaping - looking at muliple approaches.
4. I bring a playful approach. A hands-on process is sometimes more important than outcome.
5.How can we create the right environment for engagement? Encouraging young people to be active participants - different access points - one size does not fill all.
6. Disrupting the usual learning experience - exploring different spaces.
7. Failure and not knowing can be positive.
