IB History pupils attend UEA workshop on Art and the Anti-Apartheid Movement

Last Friday, IB History pupils had the opportunity to attend a unique workshop at the University of East Anglia (UEA), entitled All Shall Be Afforded Dignity: Art and Anti-Apartheid Movement.

The day began with a fascinating talk on the complex history and politics of apartheid in South Africa, and the anti-apartheid movement in the and across the globe, delivered by Dr Nicholas Grant.

Following the lecture, the pupils explored the exhibition and reflected upon the All Shall Be Afforded Dignity exhibition featuring the works of Norman Kaplan. The morning concluded with a hands-on printing workshop led by the artist JMC Anderson. Here, the pupils were guided through the process of creating their own Linograph prints, using protest as their central theme.
