We are incredibly grateful to The Granada Foundation for their generous support of our recent education work in connection with the exhibition Centre of the Creative Universe: Liverpool and the Avant-Garde.

 

One element of this education programme, Homes, Histories & Hearsay, was particularly successful and will inform the way that the Gallery plans and delivers its Gallery education work for the public in the future. For the first time, Tate Liverpool was able to dedicate its ground floor Gallery to providing a large-scale activity space dedicated to deepening audiences’ experience of the art works on display.

 

The project used a collection of objects presented in eight numbered boxes in order to trigger memories. Participants then shared these on post-it notes displayed around the room and artist educators helped visitors to make connections with other people’s memories and with the content of the exhibition.
