project info
Set up as an artist in residence, Carolyn Mendlesohn will be based at the school running workshops with 14-15 year old students, as well as co-creating portraits with students to help them express themselves and tell their own stories through photography. Carolyn Mendlesohn’s artist in residence at Dixon’s Trinity Academy is a place-based approach, being based at a school where there is a very diverse student population. Focusing on a school environment has allowed the Carolyn to build relationships with students and get to know their aspirations, and inspire them to look at photography as a serious creative practice that they can persue as a career. By being placed in an environment where students feel safe and are able to engage in creative subjects has been a significant factor in successful relationship-building for the artist and students.
